NAME

6       amrmtape - remove a tape from the Amanda database
7

SYNOPSIS

9       amrmtape [-n] [-v] [-q] [-d] config label
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Amrmtape invalidates the contents of an existing backup tape in the
13       configuration database. This is meant as a recovery mechanism when a
14       good backup is damaged either by faulty hardware or user error, e.g.
15       the tape is eaten by the drive or is overwritten.
