I had an "a ha" moment with Amanda I thought I'd share. Sometimes with
"amflush" I get output like the following:

####
bash-2.05# su -m operator -c 'amflush Sumsault'
Scanning /home2/amanda...
  Desktop-holdingdisk: skipping cruft directory, perhaps you should delete it.
  20030220: found Amanda directory.
  20030227: found Amanda directory.

Multiple Amanda directories, please pick one by letter:
  A. 20030220
  B. 20030227
Select directories to flush [A..B]: [ALL] B
####

Sometimes it's not easy to guess which directory is the correct one, especially 
since
two tape sets share the same holding disk. I had a simple solution this-- I set 
up each tape set
to use it's own holding disk. This narrows down the possible choices for this
kind of case. 

It would still be nice if Amanda would tell me which tape set each dump belongs 
to.
