-\fBAmflush\fR writes \fBAMANDA\fR backups from the holding disks to tape, and updates the \fBAMANDA\fR info database and tapelist accordingly\&. Backups may stay in a holding disk when something is wrong with the tape at the time \fBamdump\fR is run\&. When this happens, the problem must be corrected and \fBamflush\fR run by hand\&.
