Denise,
A clean solution is not possible at the moment. This would require
setting /dev/null as the tape device in amanda.conf and convincing the
programmers to add an optional parameter for the tape device to the
amflush command.
Until this is done, I'd experiment with two versions of amanda.conf:
One with the real tape device and one with /dev/null. Cron can do that
for you. AFAIK the required version of Amanda is 2.4.2.
