They should have been deleted from the holding disk, one by one,
after they were successfully written to the tape. The fact that they
weren't would sure make me nervous about the tapes contents.
OK, I've run amflush again. Looking back at it, it seems to have
written some of the dumps to tape, but not all of them. Hopefully it
should work it's way through them in time.
If these dumps on the holding disk get superseded by other, more recent
backups, will they automatically be removed from the holding disk?
