No, amanda backs up DLE's, each of which may or may not comprise an

Then you'll want to make sure you understand why Amanda decided to
do 17 fulls and 2 incrementals on a particular day; this would be
a rather un-Amandalike thing to do on a day when it knows it's

there are extraordinary circumstances.  Number of runs/dumpcycle
too short, maybe?  I don't know.
