NAME

6       amarchiver - Create, extract or list amanda archive
7

SYNOPSIS

9       amarchiver --version|--create|--extract|--list [--verbose]
10                  [--file file] [filename]...
11

DESCRIPTION

13       Amarchiver manipulates amanda archive file. On creation, amarchiver
14       doesn't recurse into directories. If a filename specifies a directory,
15       it will be ignored. If it specifies a character device, amarchiver
16       reads the device and archives the data. If a filename specifies a named
17       pipe, amarchiver reads the named pipe and archives the data.
18
19       Note that this tool is more limited than the Amanda archive library,
20       and may not be appropriate for some archive files -- particularly those
21       which use non-strings in their filenames.
