Hi,

This means that after 1 week there will be a full backup, Amanda will try
to spread these over the 7 days, depending on how many filesystems you are
backing up.

Please read:

http://www.amanda.org/docs/topten.html#id2550713

Therefore, if you really wish to have a level 0 backup on Sunday, you will
need another amanda.conf with:

dumpcycle 0

and create a crontab to run on Sundays.
