I seem to have some sort of database anomaly in my AMANDA system.

I am looking for references to previous articles about this topic...
or maybe some guidance as to what I should be examining or evaluating...

##

I have sent the amflush command for the only degraded backup remaining. 
It always comes back indicating there is nothing to write to tape. 

I read the archives and found a thread where John R. Jackson advises 
users not to muck with the database manually, to let the Amanda system 
handle it... 

Well, it appears degraded mode entry is stale.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
DK
