if you have plenty of holding disk space, you can lower the reserve
for incrmental dumps.
from man amanda:
reserve number
Default: 100(percent). The amount of holding-disk
space that should not be used for full backups if
no tape is available. By default, when there is no
tape to write to, degraded mode (incremental) back-
ups will be performed to the holding disk. If full
backups should also be allowed in this case, the
amount of holding disk space reserved for incremen-
tals should be lowered.
