I'm not familiar with the various "strategy" and other related options,
but can you set a strategy that always does a "no-full" or "only-incremental"
AND can also be forced with amadmin to do full dumps on demand?

If yes, perhaps you can use just a single configuration.  The incremental only
strategy would only cause incrementals daily except the one following your
forced "amadmin full"  Then dump that "file tape" to real tape.
