I am working on some documentation and the question came up:

What is the highest incremental/differential level performed by amanda?

Look at the various bump* options in amanda.conf -- they control when amanda bumps an incremental up a level. Theoretically it can go to 9 (just like the backup tools), but there's an increasingly high requirement for backup image size savings to do the bumps.
