amcheckdump – check the results of an Amanda dump

Synopsis

amcheckdump [–timestamp|-t timestamp] [–verbose] [-o configoption…] config

Description

Amcheckdump

verifies Amanda dump images by reading them from storage volume(s) and verifying that the images can be parsed by the appropriate application (if available). For example, a GNUTAR image is passed to GNU Tar for parsing, and any errors (e.g., corrupt or missing data) are noted.

The application runs on the most recent dump or, if –timestamp is specified, on the most recent dump with that timestamp. Note that the verification is local to the Amanda server; if the dump application is not available, or is configured differently on the server than on the client, then the verification will most likely fail.

If a changer is available, it is used to load the required tapes. Otherwise, the application interactively requests the tapes.

See the "CONFIGURATION OVERRIDE" section in amanda(8) for information on the -o option.

Example

# check the most recent dump
amcheckdump MYCONFIG
# check a specific dump from back in '78
amcheckdump MYCONFIG --timestamp 19780615
