More guesswork, but no, I don't think this will matter. Forcing a
bunch of full dumps at any point is still going to look like a hill
in the load and Amanda will try to flatten it out.

Not sure it is possible : the dumps queue is created when you launch amdump,
and Amanda looks at which dumps it can move (to optimize) or it has to move
(because of space problems) just before starting the dumps when you launch
amdump Config (see the logs).

You can figure out what's coming due by looking at
'amadmin config balance'. You can't always predict what might
get promoted by planner, but if you do what you're suggesting and
force enough filesystems to make the total data size for the run
greater than average, planner won't promote

The best way I can think of doing this (I'm far from an expert with
amanda, but I'm learning) is set up one cron with your normal
configuration, then setup another configuration that is set to do full
dumps always, and have another cron run that on the weekend.
That seems to be the easiest way
Hi guys,
Actually, as Joshua pointed out, amadmin config due does exactly
what I want--It gives you a nice list saying which dumps are overdue,
what dumps are due today, and how many days until other dumps are due.
Forcing dumps that are overdue, due today, or that are due in a day or
two would
