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
