AMRMTAPE(8) System Administration Commands AMRMTAPE(8) NAME amrmtape - remove a tape from the Amanda database SYNOPSIS amrmtape [--changer changer-name] [--cleanup] [--dryrun] [-n] [--erase] [--external-copy] [--keep-label] [--list-retention] [--list-no-re- tention] [--remove-no-retention] [--quiet] [-q] [--verbose] [-v] config [label]* DESCRIPTION Amrmtape invalidates the contents of an existing backup tape in the config- uration 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-name Specify which changer to use when erasing label --cleanup Remove logs and indexes associated with label. Otherwise, they'll re- main 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 era- sure is not "secure" in the sense that the data can most likely be re- covered by someone with the right tools. --external-copy The volume is erased but the label is kept in the tapelist and the log file. This function must be used if you manually made a copy of the volume that you can manually restore. You should also mark the label as noreuse. --keep-label Do not remove label from the tapelist. The volume become like a new la- belled tape and can be reused by any storage using the same tape-pool. --list-retention List all labels that are required for the policy of each storage. --list-no-retention List all labels that are not required for the policy of each storage. They are the volumes that can be reused. --remove-no-retention Remove all labels that are not required for the policy of each storage. Useful with --keep-label and/or --erase. --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 and DAILY035 from the DailySet1 configuration. # amrmtape DailySet1 DAILY034 DAILY035 SEE ALSO amanda(8), amadmin(8) The Amanda Wiki: : http://wiki.zmanda.com/ AUTHORS Adrian T.
