I did that, and it worked, but then when I ran amflush again, it didn't
list the tape name.
[amandabackup@archivist ~]$ amflush NMHPVPR
Flushing dumps from 20170408010017 using storage "NMHPVPR", tape changer
"tape_drive".
Are you sure you want to do this [yN]? Y
Running in background, you can log off now.
You'll get mail when amflush is finished.
