My first suggestion would be to grab a log-rotation function from 
one of those cron triggerd weekly scripts, and do a pattern of 
adding a .1, .2, .3, 4, etc addendum to the indice filenames, and 
run that before each run of amdump.

That of course is not exhaustive, there may be other, equally 
inventive methods.
