Along those lines, I always figured "dumpcycle 0" (possibly with an
"amadmin <config> force ..." thrown in for good measure :-) was sufficient
to make Amanda do a full dump every time, or at least close enough.
Some things "Uncle George" brought up the other day makes it look like
the following triple is better (although I have **not** tested this):
dumptype whatever {
...
dumpcycle 0
strategy noinc
skip-incr yes
}
Just looking at the code, I think this also prevents Amanda from doing
some of the incremental estimates it might normally try, which in turn
prevents it from ever even attempting an incremental dump.
