I have 2 physical boxes I'm backing up, one called srv1 and the other called srv2. srv1 is always backed up correctly, which also has the tape device and runs the amanda backups. srv2 is a SLES 10 server running 3 virtual SLES 10 XEN guests within it, but I'm treating them as separate

I've got two very old failed backups in the holding disk. I do not want to flush them on tape for a number of reasons, one being because they aren't useful anymore. How do I force amanda to empty the holding disk and to update its index files without writing to a tape? Lucio.

Chris, I looked around a little in the Amanda source code and convinced myself that there was a bug there. I sent a note to to the amanda-hackers mailing list and received a prompt reply from Jean-Louis Martineau with a patch that fixed the problem for me. I'll attach his message and patch.
