What you are asking for is technically possible, and not all that difficult, but ill-advised. If something blows up during the backup on Sunday, you are back to the previous Sunday's backups, if you still have them. (If you don't have them, you're really toast.) Unless bludgeoned otherwise, AM

if you spread the full backups out as AMANDA is inclined to do, you can probably go to "runtapes 1" and she will make every effort to fill that tape with backup goodness every night. Since you have "runtapes 6", she will try to fill six tapes every night. This doesn't sound like what you want. >
