Erm.  Good point.  If I use a dumpcycle of two weeks the planner will
ensure there is at least one full dump of all DLE's within each two week
period, right?  (I have a small tape drive relative to what I'm dumping
so I'm out of luck as far as a one week dumpcycle goes).

Amanda is cool, must remember it can do things other backup systems
can't... :-)
