DESCRIPTION

18       After Amanda rpms are successfully installed, amserverconfig will setup
19       initial Amanda configuration files. It will create
20       /var/lib/amanda/guntar-lists directory if one does not exist.
21       amserverconfig does not change existing Amanda configurations.
22       amserverconfig must be run by user amandabackup.
23

OPTIONS

25       Options may be abbreviated, as long as the abbreviation is not
26       ambiguous. Option argument can either separated by ´=´ or a space.
27       Example: --templ=harddisk --tapedev /dev/nst0
28
29       amserverconfig builds a new "config" Amanda configuration. Customize
30       the configuration with the options below.
31
32       --template template
33           build Amanda configuration with pre-configured template files.
34           Currently, harddisk, single-tape, tape-changer and S3 are the valid
35           inputs for this option. Pre-configured template files can be found
36           in /var/lib/amanda/template.d. This option may be combined with
37           other options.
38
39           If tape-changer is chosen for this option, program mtx is required.
40           amserverconfig will search for mtx in the following directory:
41           "/usr/sbin", "/usr/local/sbin", "/usr/local/bin", "/usr/bin",
42           "/bin" and amandabackup´s PATH.
43
44           If harddisk is chosen and --no-vtape is not specified,
45           amserverconfig will create and label virtual tape
46           file://var/lib/amanda/vtapes/$config.
47
48       --no-vtape
49           Do not create virtual tapes in the harddisk template case.
