==NAME==
 
amcheckdump - check the results of an Amanda dump
 
==SYNOPSIS==
 
amcheckdump config [--timestamp|-t timestamp]
 
==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.
 
==EXAMPLE==
 
Check the most recent dump
          amcheckdump MYCONFIG
 
Check a specific dump from back in '78
          amcheckdump MYCONFIG --timestamp 19780615
