You won't. After running a while amanda will spread the level 0's over all the dump days. So if your once a week tape "now" gets 40GB and your daily "incrementals" now get 2, each will average about 8 GB daily. Some might suggest that if you can't justify the expense of tapes then the value/cost of losing the data must be low. -- Jon H.
