AMREPORT(1) General Commands Manual AMREPORT(1) NAME
amreport - generate a formatted output of statistics for an Amanda run SYNOPSIS
amreport [ config ] [ -l logfile ] [ -f outputfile ] [ -p postscriptfile ] DESCRIPTION
Amreport generates a summary report of an amanda(8) backup run. If no configuration name is specified, amanda.conf is read from the cur- rent directory. See the amanda(8) man page for more details about Amanda. OPTIONS
config Name of the configuration to process. [-l logfile] Name of the log file to parse to generate the report. If a log file is not specified, it defaults to the file: logdir/log where logdir is the log directory defined in amanda.conf. [-f outputfile] Normally, amreport sends the report via e-mail to the mailto user as defined in the amanda.conf file. If outputfile is specified, then the report is put in outputfile. [-p postscriptfile] Send the postscript output to the file postscriptfile instead of to the lpr(1) command. This option has an effect only if the lbl- templ directive is specified in amanda.conf. LABEL PRINTING
Amanda can print postscript labels describing the contents of tape(s) written in a run. The labels are designed to be folded and inserted into the tape case along with the tape or hole punched and put in a 3-ring binder. Various label templates are provided to format data for different tape sizes. The information printed varies slightly between label templates due to size constraints. Labels contain one line for each host/file-system pair and may also contain the file number on the tape, the level of the dump, the original size of the dump and the size of the (possibly compressed) tape file. Add the lbl-templ parameter to the tapetype definition in amanda.conf to enable labels. If you don't add this line to your tapetype defi- nition, amreport will not print tape labels. You may use the printer keyword in amanda.conf to print to other than the system default printer. TEMPLATES
Amanda provides label templates for the following tape types. These are pretty generic labels and should be easy to customize for other tape types or particular site needs. * ExaByte 8mm tapes * DAT 4mm tapes * DLT tapes * 3-ring binder The 3-ring binder type is the most generic. It may be used to make a hardcopy log of the tapes. SEE ALSO

AMSERVERCONFIG(8) System Administration Commands AMSERVERCONFIG(8) NAME
amserverconfig - program to setup initial Amanda configuration SYNOPSIS
amserverconfig config [--template template] [--no-vtape] [--tapetype tapetype] [--tpchanger tpchanger] [--tapedev tapedev] [--changerfile changerfile] [--changerdev changerdev] [--labelstr labelstr] [--mailto mailto] [--dumpcycle dumpcycle] [--runspercycle runspercycle] [--runtapes runtapes] [--tapecycle tapecycle] [--help] DESCRIPTION
After Amanda rpms are successfully installed, amserverconfig will setup initial Amanda configuration files. It will create /var/lib/amanda/guntar-lists directory if one does not exist. amserverconfig does not change existing Amanda configurations. amserverconfig must be run by user amandabackup. OPTIONS
Options may be abbreviated, as long as the abbreviation is not ambiguous. Option argument can either separated by '=' or a space. Example: --templ=harddisk --tapedev /dev/nst0 amserverconfig builds a new "config" Amanda configuration. Customize the configuration with the options below. --template template build Amanda configuration with pre-configured template files. Currently, harddisk, single-tape, tape-changer and S3 are the valid inputs for this option. Pre-configured template files can be found in /var/lib/amanda/template.d. This option may be combined with other options. If tape-changer is chosen for this option, program mtx is required. amserverconfig will search for mtx in the following directory: "/usr/sbin", "/usr/local/sbin", "/usr/local/bin", "/usr/bin", "/bin" and amandabackup's PATH. If harddisk is chosen and --no-vtape is not specified, amserverconfig will create and label virtual tape file://var/lib/amanda/vtapes/$config. --no-vtape Do not create virtual tapes in the harddisk template case. --tapedev tapedev The path name of non-rewinding tape device. default [file://var/lib/amanda/vtapes/$config] --tpchanger tpchanger The name of the tape changer. default [chg-disk] --changerdev changerdev A tape changer configuration parameter. default [/dev/null] --changerfile changerfile A tape changer configuration parameter. default [/etc/amanda/$config/changer.conf] --labelstr labelstr The tape label constraint regular expression. default [^$config-[0-9][0-9]*$] If this option is used with --template=harddisk, only alphanumeric string is supported. --tapetype tapetype The type of tape drive associated with tapedev or tpchanger. default [HARDDISK] --mailto mailto A space separated list of recipients for mail reports. default [amandabackup] --dumpcycle dumpcycle The number of days in the backup cycle. default [1week] --runspercycle runspercycle The number of days in the backup cycle. default [5] --runtapes runtapes The maximum number of tapes used in a single run. default [1] --tapecycle tapecycle The size of tape rotation. default [25] --help Display usage. FILES
/var/lib/amanda/template.d Amanda configuration template files install location /var/lib/amanda amandabackup home directory /var/lib/amanda/gnutar-lists A directory which contains backup timestamp and list of files backed up. /etc/amanda/$config Amanda configuration files location for $config(e.g: DailySet1). /etc/amanda/template.d A directory contains dumptypes and tapetypes files used by all Amanda configurations. /etc/amandates Amanda file on the client. It keeps track of structures of previous dumps. /tmp/amanda directory contains Amanda debug log files. RETURN VALUE
On success, zero is returned. On error, 1 is returned. SEE ALSO
