We have sent our tape changer back for repairs, so backups are being held on the holding disk. Whilst the changer has been away, I needed to backup some more disks, so added some entries to the disklist. However, these are not being backed up, even to the holding disk. How can I force amanda to backup to the holding disk, with a view to flushing to

tape when the tape changer comes back from the fixers?You need to turn the 
reserve parameter in your amanda.conf way down.
See amanda(8) for details on what that does.  Also, you should use
amadmin(8) to force the new disks to do a level zero.
