Use a different strategy for week and friday.
eg . strategy nofull    # on the week, could be 'incronly'
     strategy standard # on friday

Editing the disklist or amanda.conf is not an easy solution, but you can do the following:

If all DLE inherit from a 'my_strategy' dumptype, you could add the following to amanda.conf:

define dumptype my_strategy {
   strategy nofull
}

You then execute 'amdump <conf>' on the week.
And on friday,  you execute:
  'amdump <conf> -oDUMPTYPE:my_strategy:strategy=standard'

Hi,

I'd like to know if there is a way to enforce the use of a level of backup different than level 0?

I'd like to reserve a particulier diskset for the weekend (bigger and backup is long), I know how to force level 0 on friday night (amadmin conf force host diskset) but during the week, amanda decides to back it up with level 0 which is annoying for tape management and it doesn't fit the night. So is there a way to make sure amanda won't use level 0 Monday to Friday and level 0 on Friday?

Thanks for your time, patience and  answers.

Franck.
