man amdump shows:

 SYNOPSIS
    amdump config [ host [ disk ]* ]*

Hi guys,

The scenario is this, one night one of the servers to be backed up hanged and it will not be dump by amanda, but all of the other servers are successfully dump. In the morning i want that server to be backed up so that all of my backups are synchronize, meaning no servers are left behind the backup schedule. Can I do this? and how can I deal with this kind of scenario?

Execute by hand:

        amdump Config the.fixed.server

You may insert a tape, if you like.  But setting "reserve" less than
100%, and a large enough holdingdisk, you may dump to holdingdisk only,
and with the "autoflush" parameter in amanda, write it to tape, the
next run together with the rest.
