While I appreciate what you're trying to do, do you realize that AMANDA's entire reason for being is to make backups easier by not telling her what to do? You are supposed to specify your tape and dump cycles, and then let AMANDA figure out the rest. She'll schedule full dumps when she feels they're required, but the entire decision is based on how you set up the tape and dump cycles. AMANDA is a great backup program, but I see people trying to force backup schedules all the time. It's not needed. You should subscribe to the AMANDA mailing list. It has got to be one of the best, if not the best, mailing list out there. People are insanely helpful. Good luck, Kanwar Systems Aligned Inc. www.systemsaligned.com
