Hi!

I started using virtual tapes some weeks ago. Unfortunately I ran out of
disk space far more quickly, than I expected, because I did many full
dumps due to misconfiguration. Now I had to delete some of the backups.
I did not find any other way, than deleting the files within the virtual
tapes. (Only those with backups not the files, amanda created when
labelling the "tapes"). Now, is there a way to re-index the left -over
files and delete the missing backups from the index?

Regards,
Thomas
