While the tape/slot could free the level 1 dumps for a-disk, there could be some DLE for other disks/hosts that are still valid on that tape/slot. I don't think Amanda has any way to free some specific DLE from a tape/slot. It is only at the tape/slot level that a tape/slot can be erased and reused. Best regards, Olivier
