or in your dumptype definition include "strategy noinc"

eg. In our "weekly" backup sets the global dumptype is defined as:

define dumptype global {
    comment "Global definitions"
    # This is quite useful for setting global parameters, so you don't have
    # to type them everywhere.  All dumptype definitions in this sample file
    # do include these definitions, either directly or indirectly.
    # There's nothing special about the name `global'; if you create any
    # dumptype that does not contain the word `global' or the name of any
    # other dumptype that contains it, these definitions won't apply.
    # Note that these definitions may be overridden in other
    # dumptypes, if the redefinitions appear *after* the `global'
    # dumptype name.
    # You may want to use this for globally enabling or disabling
    # indexing, recording, etc.  Some examples:
    # index yes
    # record no
    index yes
    record no
    holdingdisk yes
    strategy noinc
}

according to the amanda.conf file comments:
#   strategy    - set the dump strategy.  Valid strategies are currently:
#                 "standard" - the standard one.
#                 "nofull"   - do level 1 dumps every time.  This can be used,
#                              for example, for small root filesystems that
#                              only change slightly relative to a site-wide
#                              prototype.  Amanda then backs up just the
#                              changes.
#                 "noinc"    - do level 0 dumps every time.
#                 "skip"     - skip all dumps.  Useful for sharing a single
#                              disklist in several configurations.
#                 Default: [strategy standard]
