man amrmtape (Administration système) - remove a tape from the AMANDA database
NAME
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.
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 discarded. 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 configuration.
# amrmtape DailySet1 DAILY034
