Give a 1 wk dumpcycle (aka 7 days) how often during a single
dumpcycle will you run a backup (aka amdump)?  It does not
take any units like "days".

  runspercycle 1                One dump per week
  runspercycle 5                Week days only, skip weekend
  runspercycle 3                Mon, Wed, Fri
  runspercycle 4                Mon, Wed, Fri, and Sunday for the weekend
  runspercycle 7                daily
  runspercycle 14               every 12 hours

So you decide.
