RE: make a backup disappear

[Bort, Paul]

You have two separate problems you need to address: First, letting AMANDA know that that tape is not valid anymore. Second, adjusting your backup schedule to replace the lost backups.   The first step is to remove the tape from the tape database with the 'amrmtape' command, which expects a configuration name and tape label as parameters. It will handle tapelist and the log files.   IIRC, you won't need to do anything special for the second step, because when AMANDA examines the logs to determine which levels are needed, the backups done on the removed tape won't be counted.   You can use "amadmin due" to see which disks need a level 0.   -----Original Message----- From: Jeremy L.

How do I tell Amanda that that backup no longer exists and that it should try to reschedule as many fulls as possible for tonight? Do I just find the right log in /var/log/Amanda/<conf> and delete it?   Thanks, JLM   Jeremy Mordkoff Tatara Systems 978-206-0808 (direct) 978-206-0888 (fax)   injustice anywhere threatens justice everywhere -- Dr. Martin Luther King
