Dumps which were partial, and will never be run onto the tape (ie you find them there several days later, and amanda has not flushed them) — Yeah, I just run “rm -fr treename” Amcleanup doesn’t seem to be needed at this point, since amanda has already rejected the dumps. I’m only told to use amcleanup when I control-C a backup, or do something else weird (a machine crash in the middle would probably look the same). So, if “AMCLEANUP <CONFIG>” ** gives no replies, then you are fine. ** (I’m capitalizing some of the above commands to avoid spellcheck. Don’t capitalize them yourself!)
