AMFLUSH(8)					       AMFLUSH(8)

NAME
       amflush	-  flush Amanda backup files from holding disk to
       tape

SYNOPSIS
       amflush [ -f ] config

DESCRIPTION
       Amflush writes Amanda backups from the  holding	disks  to
       tape,  and  updates the Amanda info database and tape list
       accordingly.  Backups may stay  in  a  holding  disk  when
       something  is  wrong  with  the tape at the time amdump is
       run.  When this happens, the problem must be corrected and
       amflush run by hand.

       Amflush	will  look  in the holding disks specified by the
       amanda.conf file	 in  /usr/freeware/etc/amanda/config  for
       any  non-empty  Amanda  work directories.  It then prompts
       you to select a directory or to process all of the  direc
       tories.	 The  work  directories	 in the holding disks are
       named by the  date  at  the  time  amdump  was  run,  e.g.
       19910215.

       Amflush	normally detaches itself from the tty and runs as
       a background process.  With the -f option,  amflush  stays
       in  the	foreground.   This is useful if amflush is run as
       part of another script that,  for  example,  advances  the
       tape after the flush is completed.

       See  the amanda(8) man page for more details about Amanda.

EXAMPLE
       Amflush will search for holding areas associated with  the
       PUCC  configuration.   After you select which holding area
       to flush, amflush writes the data  to  tape,  updates  the
       databases and sends a mail report similar to amdump(8).

	      % amflush DailySet1
	      Scanning /amanda-hold...
		20001113: found Amanda directory.
		20001114: found Amanda directory.

	      Multiple Amanda directories, please pick one by letter:
		A. 20001113
		B. 20001114
	      Select directories to flush [A..B]: [ALL] all

	      Flushing dumps in 20001113, 20001114,
	      today: 20001117
	      to tape drive /dev/rmt/0mn.
	      Expecting tape DMP014 or a new tape.  (The last dumps were to tape DMP013)
	      Are you sure you want to do this? yes
	      Running in background, you can log off now.
	      You'll get mail when amflush is finished.
