It seems that there is an estimate full run every day, even if the
dump ends up being incremental.

Yes, indeed, in the normal case an estimate for a level 0 dump
is always done.   Otherwise Amanda could not schedule a level 0
dump earlier ("promote a dump").
If it bothers you, you can add "maxpromoteday 0" to that DLE
dumptype.  This will avoid promoting that DLE for a full dump
anything sooner than 0 days earlier.

I will look at estimate server then.
