Two things to watch out for:
1. I believe amanda _really_ doesn't like running more than
once per day. At least in a single config. Having multiple
configs _might_ avoid her objections there though.
2. Make sure your incrementals are doing what you expect.
In particular, the "listed-incremental" files will be
shared between configs. Meaning the level 1 on that
weekly tape is relative to the level 0 on the daily
that came before it, for instance....
I posted about #2 some months ago, and suggested that I might
come up with a fix for it. Unfortunately I never did; we ended
up rearranging things rather creatively to get around the
problem here.
