7
9 amreport [config] [-i] [-M address] [-l logfile] [-f outputfile]
10 [-p postscriptfile] [-o configoption]...
11
13 Amreport generates a summary report of an amanda(8) backup run. If no
14 configuration name is specified, amanda.conf is read from the current
15 directory.
16
17 See the amanda(8) man page for more details about Amanda.
18
20 config
21 Name of the configuration to process.
22
23 -i
24 Don't email the report.
25
26 -M address
27 Mail the report to address instead of the mailto value from
28 amanda.conf.
29
30 -l logfile
31 Name of the log file to parse to generate the report. If a log file
32 is not specified, it defaults to the file:
33
34 logdir/log
35
36 where logdir is the log directory defined in amanda.conf.
37
38 -f outputfile
39 Normally, amreport sends the report via e-mail to the mailto user
40 as defined in the amanda.conf file. If outputfile is specified,
41 then the report is put in outputfile.
42
43 -p postscriptfile
44 Send the postscript output to the file postscriptfile instead of to
45 the lpr(1) command. This option has an effect only if the lbl-templ
46 directive is specified in amanda.conf.
47
48 -o configoption
49 See the "CONFIGURATION OVERWRITE" section in amanda(8).
50
52 Amanda can print postscript labels describing the contents of tape(s)
53 written in a run. The labels are designed to be folded and inserted
54 into the tape case along with the tape or hole punched and put in a
55 3-ring binder. Various label templates are provided to format data for
56 different tape sizes.
57
58 The information printed varies slightly between label templates due to
59 size constraints. Labels contain one line for each host/file-system
60 pair and may also contain the file number on the tape, the level of the
61 dump, the original size of the dump and the size of the (possibly
62 compressed) tape file.
63
64 Add the lbl-templ parameter to the tapetype definition in amanda.conf
65 to enable labels. If you don't add this line to your tapetype
66 definition, amreport will not print tape labels.
67
68 You may use the remap='I'>printer keyword in amanda.conf to print to
69 other than the system default printer.
70
72 Amanda provides label templates for the following tape types. These are
73 pretty generic labels and should be easy to customize for other tape
74 types or particular site needs.
75
76 * ExaByte 8mm tapes
77 * DAT 4mm tapes
78 * DLT tapes
79 * 3-ring binder
80
81
82 The 3-ring binder type is the most generic. It may be used to make a
83 hardcopy log of the tapes.
