 Am I correct in assuming that when I fire this up Amanda will try to
 space these dumps out over the 6 runs?

After it has a full on record, it would try to space them, but I think
full spacing algorithm depends on promoting/deferring to level 1.  I
do something like this, but manually balanced it.  Once balanced,
every other run does about half the DLEs.  Note that I use a separate
config, and a separate database.

Sometimes I am tempted to not disable incrementals to get balancing to
work right, and at others to modify no-incr so that it schedules
incrementals but does not include them in size or actually do them.

That sounds interesting as well, could you expand on this?

Thanks,
