How can I manage to do full backups of every server each FRIDAY ? I

know I should create a new config specifying always full and an
infinite tapecylce and run it on fridays, and run the "regular"
schedule on the other days.

Instead of having cron run amdump directly, you could have it run a script like:

set -- `date`
case $1 in
Fri)
su backup /local/sbin/amdump Full
;;
*)
su backup /local/sbin/amdump Daily
;;
esac
