I'm not sure if this is what you mean but amadmin has the ability to force 
level 0 dumps.

amadmin CONF HOSTNAME [DISKLIST]

For example:

To force a level 0 of every disklist entry for the host backupserver in the 
config homes:

amadmin homes backupserver

To force a level 0 for backupserver:/export/home in conf homes:

amadmin homes backupserver /export/home

So if you wanted to run it every Friday you could put it in the crontab. There 
is maybe a 
more efficient way of doing this but this method will work.

See the amadmin man page for further details.
