NAME

6       amcheckdump - check the results of an Amanda dump
7

SYNOPSIS

9       amcheckdump [--timestamp|-t timestamp] [--verbose] [-o configoption...]
10                   config
11

DESCRIPTION

13       Amcheckdump verifies Amanda dump images by reading them from storage
14       volume(s) and verifying that the images can be parsed by the
15       appropriate application (if available). For example, a GNUTAR image is
16       passed to GNU Tar for parsing, and any errors (e.g., corrupt or missing
17       data) are noted.
18
19       The application runs on the most recent dump or, if --timestamp is
20       specified, on the most recent dump with that timestamp. Note that the
21       verification is local to the Amanda server; if the dump application is
22       not available, or is configured differently on the server than on the
23       client, then the verification will most likely fail.
24
25       If a changer is available, it is used to load the required tapes.
26       Otherwise, the application interactively requests the tapes.
27
28       See the "CONFIGURATION OVERRIDE" section in amanda(8) for information
29       on the -o option.
