NAME¶
amrmtape - remove a tape from the Amanda databaseSYNOPSIS¶
amrmtape
[--changer changer-name] [--cleanup] [--dryrun] [-n] [--erase]
[--keep-label] [--quiet] [-q] [--verbose] [-v] config
label
DESCRIPTION¶
Amrmtape invalidates the contents of an existing backup tape in the configuration database. This is meant as a recovery mechanism when a good backup is damaged either by faulty hardware or user error, e.g. the tape is eaten by the drive or is overwritten. See the amanda(8) man page for more details about Amanda.OPTIONS¶
--changer changer-nameSpecify which changer to use when erasing
label
--cleanup
Remove logs and indexes associated with
label. Otherwise, they'll remain until the next run of amdump.
--dryrun, -n
Generate new tapelist(5) and database
files with label removed, but leave them in /tmp and do not update the
original copies.
--erase
Attempt to erase the data contained on the
volume with the given label. This requires that Amanda be able to find that
volume using the tape changer. Erasure is not supported by all Amanda devices,
and the erasure is not "secure" in the sense that the data can most
likely be recovered by someone with the right tools.
--keep-label
Do not remove label from the
tapelist.
--verbose, -v
List backups of hosts and disks that are being
discarded. Enabled by default.
--quiet, -q
Opposite of -v.
EXAMPLE¶
Remove tape labeled DAILY034 from the DailySet1 configuration.# amrmtape DailySet1 DAILY034
