.PP
-\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\&.

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

-\fBAmflush\fR will look in the holding disks specified by the \fBamanda\&.conf\fR file in /usr/local/etc/amanda/\fBconfig\fR for any non\-empty \fBAmanda\fR work directories\&. It then prompts you to select a directory or to process all of the directories\&. The work directories in the holding disks are named by the date at the time \fBamdump\fR was run, e\&.g\&. 19910215\&.
