Amanda does it's own cycling of full and incremental backups, tying to get an even backup size/time over the tape sets.

If you want to do 'permanent archive' sets (we do) then you need a separate config that only does level 0 backups and has the tapes marked as don't reuse.

Have a read of the documentation and esp how the planner handles incrementals/full backups.
