NAME

6       ammt - Amanda version of mt
7

SYNOPSIS

9       ammt [-d] [-f | -t | device] command [count]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Ammt provides just enough of the standard UNIX mt command for the needs
13       of Amanda. This is handy when doing a full restore and the standard mt
14       program has not yet been found.
15
16       Ammt also provides access to the Amanda output drivers that support
17       various tape simulations.
18
19       See the amanda(8) man page for more details about Amanda. See the
20       OUTPUT DRIVERS section of amanda(8) for more information on the Amanda
21       output drivers.
