As I recall amanda knows a dump is still on the holding disk and
can do amrecovers from there.  Might have been an added feature
over the last year or two.

When a tape is removed with amrmtape, the indexes for that tape
are removed.

I wonder when, or even if, amanda ever realizes something that
it believes is on the holding disk is no longer there.  And can
the cleanup be triggered with something analogous to amrmtape.
Does amcleanup do any of these things?  Guess I could look it
up (RTM jon) but I'm too lazy and not concerned.
