bump* dumptype parameters tuning

Hi, It's with some shame that I must admit that through the long years of using amanda I've never really played with the bump* parameters for DLEs! I'm now in a situation that might benefit from some tuning using those to aggressively encourage bumping the gnutar incremental levels

There is a planner bug with force-bump when a dle is overdue. The attached patch should fix it. As a workaround, you can set a large dumpcycle (eg. 1). force-bump will prevent full, but it will also bump the level, this might not be what you want. Setting a large dumpcycle and a small

Hi, Yes, seen that message many times. What happens is following: planner decides the savings would let the drive bump to level 2, produces this message and goes on with planning. Later it finds out, this drive is due for a level 0, so it skips the bump and does a level 0 instead. Quite normal
