AFAIK AMANDA is designed to amdump once per day maximum. Everything
else confuses scheduling.

I provide a similar functionality to the users by doing "snapshots",
done by a combination of find and tar ...

The script tars the files that have been modified in the last X (3) hours
to a stamped and zipped archive that can be accessed by the users via
standard-packers. This script is run by cron every Y (2) hours.

Snapshots are backed up by AMANDA and deleted after a week or so.
So the users can access their changed files without having to handle
or even understand things like amrecover.
