Hi,
don't mess around with tapelist, use amrmtape to tell amanda to discard
the info about this tape.
after that amflush will happily accept it again.

After accidentally having typed 'amdump' instead of 'amflush' and then aborting the resulting job, I am in the situation that amanda thinks of tape daily3 as an 'active' tape which cannot be reused to do the flush as I intended. Amanda also thinks that there is nothing on it (which I guess is correct in a sense).

Instead of flushing to tape daily4 in the as amanda is suggesting I would like to persuade her to accept tape daily3 again. (It feels like sort of a waste to have an empty tape in rotation for an entire tapecycle.)

My question is this: Would a simple

$ cp tapelist.yesterday tapelist

put me back where I was this morning or would it just make amanda confused
as well as me.

I have not been able to find any conclusive information on this in the man pages, archives, or FOM.

Thanks in advance,

Erik
