As JLM pointed out to me earlier today, FTD *

amanda.conf(5)
  ...
  DUMPTYPE SECTION
  ...
  maxpromoteday ...

So your answer is yes.

   * Follow The Docs, much nicer than RTFM :) .

Correct.  It should be put in the disklist.conf file for each DLE.

It sounds like it is a case of overpromoting more than a matter of your
bump parameters.  This is a common scenario for overpromoting when your
number of DLEs is less than the days in your dumpcycle.  Likely the
dumptype parameter "maxpromoteday" set to 1 or 2 or even 0 would give
you what you want.
