The next backup proceeds normally (although you would have less holdingdisk space) and you can run amflush afterwards. On the newer versions of Amanda you can set "autoflush yes" in your config and it will be done automatically. You may want to increase runtapes if you do this (runtapes is just the maximum number of tapes to use per run, it will only use as many as are actually needed).
