Hello. I have a question about cleaning up holding disk. For cleaning up holding disk, do I have to run amflush command?
I don't want to waste a tape by flushing incomplete backup image remaining in holding disk. So, I searched on the internet and found this page in zmanda forum. ( https://forums.zmanda.com/showthread.php?1565-Reset-Amanda-and-remove-holding-files ) An Amanda hacker said, 'You can manually remove the data on the holding disk (rm -rf ) and run "amcleanup" after that.'. So, I tried it. But amcleanup returned following message and didn't do anything. "amcleanup: no unprocessed logfile to clean up." I tried to executing amcleanup with every options, but the result was same. According to man page of amcleanup, amcleanup with '-r' option remove bad files in holding disk. What is the bad files? And what should I do to remove remaining data caused by failure backup in holding disk? Are there any recommended way about cleaning up holding disk in Amanda? Please answer my question. Regards, Chaerin.
