From amdump logs 

DELAYING DUMPS IF NEEDED, total_size 17273355, tape length 16974848 mark 15
 delay: machine.company.com / 20051017 0 [dump larger than tape, 17273214 KB,
 full dump delayed] now at level 3
 delay: Total size now 6615786.

Level 0 dump size estimate is 17273355. The tape size is smaller. So Amanda creates incrementals.

  • Exclude the some of files being backed up
