yes, or it may be a dump left over from an incomplete backup (i.e. one that
didn't get written to tape).

If you notice that you have several of these, and they actually contain
data:

su amanda
cd ~amanda/
du ./* -sh

this will tell you how big the directories are. If they're empty I delete
them. If they actually contain something, I then run amflush:

amflush myconf

and stick in the next tape that it wants.

Cheers,

Crhis
