amrmtape — remove a tape from the Amanda database
amrmtape [-n ] [-v ] [-q ] [-d ] config label
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.
