You could do a second config for this. I currently run 2 configs, one is a Daily backup, the other is a Quarterly "archival" dump that uses the same disklist, but doesn't record anything and forces fulls. I don't have the second config in cron anywhere, when it gets to the right time I simply "touch /etc/amanda/Dailies/hold" to prevent the Dailies from running, then run "amdump Fulls" by hand. When it's done, I remove the hold file and amanda continues with the Dailies as usual. (Usually this is one command: amdump Fulls && rm /etc/amanda/Dailies/hold, so I don't have to babysit).
