Interesting question...  I assume that amanda would make a point of
getting a full on each filesystem at least once every runspercycle runs
as well as getting one every dumpcycle days, but I can't say for sure.
It would probably mess with scheduling a bit either way, but, if my
assumption is correct, it should work for you, even if it doesn't work
as efficiently as is normally the case.
