Scott is correct using my dumptypes.  Local changes might affect the answer.

I sometimes explore the chain of dumptype includes and see what they would
be if merged into a single dumptype.  Note, I don't install it this way,
just check it out.  Here is the results of my two dumptypes.

define dumptype comp-user-tar {
#       user-tar
#               root-tar
#                       global
                                index yes
                                record yes
                        program "GNUTAR"
                        compress none
                        index yes
                        exclude list "/usr/local/etc/amanda/exclude.gtar"
                        priority low
                priority medium
        compress client fast
}

define dumptype comp-root-tar {
#       root-tar
#               global
                        index yes
                        record yes
                program "GNUTAR"
                compress none
                index yes
                exclude list "/usr/local/etc/amanda/exclude.gtar"
                priority low
        compress client fast
        record yes
}

For duplicate items, the last one takes effect.
