In summary:

- Crontab will invoke amdump <config-name>
- Amanda knows min. frequency of full backups needed and how many times amdump 
will be run from amanda.conf file
- The clients/files to be backed up are specified in disklist (could be more 
than one)
- Amanda ensures min. freq. of full backup is respected for all disklist 
entries, however not all backups taken during a particular amdump run would be 
of same type (full / incremental) 

Again, as mentioned in my last post, I am not sure whether dumpcycle is the 
min. frequency of full backup or is it the frequency of full backup?
