AMTOC(8) System Administration Commands AMTOC(8)NAME
amtoc - generate TOC (Table Of Contents) for an Amanda run
SYNOPSIS
amtoc [-a] [-i] [-t] [-f file] [-s subs] [-w] [--] logfile
DESCRIPTION
Amtoc generates a table of contents for an Amanda run. It's a perl script (if you don't have perl, install it first!).
OPTIONS -a
The output file name will be label-of-the-tape.toc in the same directory as logfile.
-i
Display help about amtoc.
-t
Generate the output in tabular form.
-f file
Write the output to a file ('-' for stdout).
-s subs
Evaluate the output file name from subs, with $_ set to label-of-the-tape. The -a option is equivalent to -s 's/$_/.toc/'.
-w
Separate tapes with form-feeds and display blank lines before totals.
--
Marks the last option so the next parameter is the logfile.
logfile
(use '-' for stdin)
OUTPUT FORMAT
The standard output has five fields separated by two spaces:
# Server:/partition date level size[Kb]
0 daily-05: 19991005 - -
1 cuisun15:/cuisun15/home 19991005 1 96
2 cuinfs:/export/dentiste 19991005 1 96
...
103 cuisg11:/ 19991005 0 4139136
103 total: - - 16716288
In tabular format (-t), this would look like:
# Server:/partition date lev size[Kb]
0 daily-05: 19991005 - -
1 cuisun15:/cuisun15/home 19991005 1 96
2 cuinfs:/export/dentiste 19991005 1 96
...
103 cuisg11:/ 19991005 0 4139136
103 total: - - 16716288
USAGE
The easiest way to use it is to run amtoc right after amdump in the cron job:
amdump daily ; logdir=`amgetconf daily logdir` ; log=`ls -1t $logdir/log.*.[0-9] | head -1` ; amtoc -a $log
which will generate /usr/local/etc/amanda//daily/tape_label.toc. You may also want to call amtoc after an amflush.

AMLABEL(8) System Administration Commands AMLABEL(8)NAME
amlabel - label an Amanda tape
SYNOPSIS
amlabel [--barcode barcode] [--meta meta-label] [--assign] [-f] [--version] [-o configoption...] config [label] [slot slot]
DESCRIPTION
This command applies a label to an Amanda volume, erasing the volume in the process.
Amanda uses labels to identify volumes: amdump(8) and amflush(8) verify the label before writing to make sure the proper volume is loaded,
and the recovery programs use the label to ensure they are reading the data they expect.
If no [slot] and no [barcode] is given, then amlabel labels the tape in the current slot of the default changer. If a slot is given, it
labels the volume in that slot. If a barcode is given, it labels the volume with that barcode. Label may be any string that does not
contain whitespace and that matches the labelstr (see amanda.conf(5)).
If [label] is not given, an autolabel is generated, see autolabel in amanda.conf(5).
If [--assign] is given, the barcode and meta-label are assigned to the label without labeling the volume. The label must already be in the
tapelist file.
This command also appends the new volume to the tapelist(5) file, so that they will be used in the order they are labeled (depending on the
taperscan in use -- see amanda-taperscan(7)).
As a precaution, amlabel will not write a label if the volume already contains an active label or if the label specified is on an active
tape. The [-f] (force) flag bypasses these verifications.
OPTIONS --barcode barcode
With [--assign], assign the barcode to the label. Without [--assign], label the volume with that barcode.
--meta meta-label
Assign the meta label to the label after labeling the volume.
--assign
Assign the barcode or meta-label to the label without labeling the volume. The label must already be in the tapelist file.
-f
Force the label operation; see above
--version
Output version information
-o configoption
See the "CONFIGURATION OVERRIDE" section in amanda(8).
EXAMPLE
Write an Amanda label with the string "DMP000" on the current volume:
% amlabel daily DMP000
Label the tape in slot 3 of the changer with the label "DMP003":
% amlabel daily DMP003 slot 3
MESSAGES
Label 'label' doesn't match labelstr 'labelstr'
The given label does not match the configured labelstr. Even with -f, this is an error.
Label 'label' already on a volume
The given label is already on another volume in the tapelist, and Amanda will not write it to this volume unless forced.
Found label 'label', but it is not from configuration config.
The label amlabel found on the volume does not match this configuration's labelstr, so it is probably part of a different Amanda
configuration. Amanda will not overwrite the label unless it is forced.
Volume with label 'label' contains data from this configuration.
The label amlabel found on the volume still has valid data on it and Amanda will not overwrite it unless forced. Note that this does
not distinguish between active and inactive volumes.
