My understanding was that the OP just wanted to run 3-out-of-7, and
I have *no* idea why that should be any problem at all.

I wasn't the one raising the question. I was just trying to
provide an explanation so that people understood his question.
He wanted to run backups MTWRF , and have a 3 day dumpcycle.
I.E. Full dumps every 3 days. And he couldn't understand
why his ignoring Sat & Sun caused amanda to always be due for
a full dump on Monday. I think he wanted
FULL tues wed FULL fri [sat, sun skipped]
mon FULL tues wed FULL [ sat, sun skipped]
mon tues FULL thur fri [sat, sun skipped]
FULL tues wed FULL fri [sat, sun skipped]
thinking that he'd get a full backup every third day that
he said "amdump" .... and that Sat, Sun would be ignored
if he didn't call amdump those days. But since amanda
knows about a 7 day week ..... she wouldn't forget them.
And I'm not sure if a config can be made, that will to do what
he wanted.
