dumpcycle 2 weeks
runspercycle 10

And set tapecycle to however many tapes you have.  You need at least 10 
(obviously), but really need at least a couple more in case of bad dumps 
(requiring an amflush), etc.  This would also work:

dumpcycle 1 week
runspercycle 5
tapecycle 12

You'd still have your two week history, it would just contain more level 
0s.  It all depends on how much data you have.
