That was my starting point.  I set maxdumps to 4, but only in the
dumptypes for amanda.  I'm still using the default of 1 for other
backups.

Should I set maxdumps to 4 globally rather than locally.  Here are the
relevant dumptypes.

define dumptype root-sambatar {
    program "GNUTAR"
    comment "Root partitions dumped with tar"
    options index
    compress server best
    maxdumps 4
    priority low
}

define dumptype user-sambatar {
    comment "User partitions dumped with samba"
    root-sambatar
    priority medium
}
