WAB,

This has been discussed before I'm sure my ideas are not unique.

In my jukebox which has multiple slots for tapes I've established
a second tape pool which will only be used on Saturdays and I run
a separate amanda.conf that I've configured to use "always-full"
in the disklist. You can do the same with a single drive and a
second tape pool.

A second way, if you really want to mess with the weekly schedule
is to put in (I assume unix running amcheck/amdump) your crontab
file (for the amanda user) an amadmin command to "force" level 0
on your file systems.

I'm sure there are other options as well.
