If you do not have anything left in the holding disk area after the 
amflush is done, you should be in good shape.  Amanda will attempt to 
play catchup if there is enough spare tape capacity, and should be 
back to normal in not more than 1 or 2 days.  If the tape capacity is 
short, then maybe an extra run might be in order.
