I was under the impression that the dump to tape was recorded on the backed
up servers as a successful backup, and incrementing to a new tape ID without
flushing would cause data to be missing until the next level 0 dump.
Am I wrong?

Subject: deleting a night's directory on holding disk
Hi,
am I pitching Amanda a curve ball by deleting one of the dated
directories from the holding disk? One night's backups went to
the holding disk. The next night's went to tape
without flushing the previous night's. This second backup was identical in
dump levels to the backups on disk. I've since ran more backups
to the holding disk ( still without ever flushing the first
backups from holding disk to tape ). Now it seems best just to 'rm -rf' the
first backups mentioned from the holding disk and flush the remaining ones
to
tape. I imagine Amanda will overlook this since they never made
it to tape but thought I would check nonetheless.
