Be careful - this is more complicated than it seems. If Amanda always
put exactly one full of each filesystem on every week, and nothing
were ever delayed (because no nightly dumps were ever missed due to
tape problems, and no clients were ever down), then this might work.
You might want to consider taking 2 dumpcyle's worth of tapes offsite,
or write some code to see if your candidate 5 tapes actually do have a
full dump of everything. So it might make sense to have a regular
rotation and then 6 sets of offsite tapes, with different sequence
numbers, and interpose the offsite tapes during 'offsite snapshot
weeks'.
Another approach is to run separate offsite dumps that skip incrementals.
