When using amoverview I get a wide output (more than 3 month).
This is not readable and anyway the data is obsolete, I only work on
a cycle of 5 days.

How can I purge old data from the history?

Good question perhaps. Here, its quite wide, but the dates coincide with the number of tapes in my tapecycle of 28. That seems to be a reasonable display. What is your tapecycle set to?


I think thats the point. Now it's 5, but it used to be that high!
Somwhere amanda remembers the higher number, but where?

In ~amanda/ConFig/curinfo/hostname/_disk_name/info

To be manipulated with "amadmin ConFig Delete" to delete the entire
info for that host/disk or to by editing the info file directly.
