David,
There is a priority parameter for dumptypes. But it does not work for
your purpose.
priority "string"
Default: medium. When there is no tape to write
to, Amanda will do incremental backups in priority
order to the holding disk. The priority may be
high(2), medium(1), low(0) or a number of your
choice.
Having the backup sequence fixed is counterproductive in normal
environments: Fast, high backup levels get stalled until the slow
level 0 of that big disk is done. Total backup time goes skyrocketing
because you loose the parallesism between clients.
Why do you want a fixed sequence? Would this help:
starttime "int"
Default: none. Backups will not start until after
this time of day. The value should be hh*100+mm,
e.g. 6:30PM (18:30) would be entered as 1830.
You could delay the unimportant directories.
