When using gtar to do a backup to virtual tapes where the session spans across two tapes, the failed tar file on the first tape is kept on the virtual tape. Is there a way to tell amanda to erase the failed backup to save the disk space?
I realize that this makes no sense when dealing with real tapes because erasing the tape is a waste of time. However this is not the case when using virtual tapes. The configuration: Backup 26 partitions a-z each as a separate disklist entry for 26 items. Gtar and software compression to capture the data and place it on virtual tape. Dumporder is largest to smallest. Thanks.
