The canonical question regarding this sort of request is... why?  It's 
*much* easier to let amanda set the schedule, although it does require you 
to wrap your head around how amanda does that.

Amanda does a very good job of scheduling backups.  Unless you have a very 
compelling reason, it's best to let it do it's job.
