Assuming you backup every night at midnight, is an extra backup at noon
really that important? If you just let AMANDA do her thing, that machine
will get a normal backup tonight, and if it was supposed to get a level 0
last night, it will get it tonight. The previous backups are stlil
(presumably) good.
