err ... no
amanda's planner will decide when to do the full dumps, based on how
big/how long the dumps take.
if you want a definite archive set you need a separate config that just
has a zero dumpcyle..
maxdumps 1
dumpcycle 0

Have you done that?
And do you have a reason why not to follow the amanda-planner?

Hi Yes I have but before I run my first test I would like confirmation
that my amanda.conf handle incremental monday to thursday and a full
backup on a friday and I will pull out the last friday of that month.
dumpcycle 1 week # Incremental weekday mon-thurs dump only
runpercycle 5 # Friday Full
Chuck
Amanda does it's own cycling of full and incremental backups, tying to
get an even backup size/time over the tape sets.
If you want to do 'permanent archive' sets (we do) then you need a
separate config that only does level 0 backups and has the tapes marked
as don't reuse.
Have a read
Has anyone example of amanda implement the infinite
grandfather-father-son strategy.
