amrmtape - remove a tape from the Amanda database
SYNOPSIS
amrmtape [ -n ] [ -v ] [ -q ] [ -d ] config label
DESCRIPTION
Amrmtape invalidates the contents of an existing backup
tape in the configuration database. This is meant as a
recovery mechanism when a good backup is damaged either by
faulty hardware or user error, e.g. the tape is eaten by
the drive or is overwritten.
See the amanda(8) man page for more details about Amanda.
OPTIONS
-n Generate new tapelist and database files with label
removed, but leave them in /tmp and do not update
the original copies.
-v List backups of hosts and disks that are being dis
carded. Enabled by default.
-q Opposite of -v.
-d Run in debugging mode so all executed commands are
shown.
EXAMPLE
Remove tape labeled DAILY034 from the DailySet1 configura
tion.
# amrmtape DailySet1 DAILY034
