| amdd — AMANDA version of dd
| |
| | |
| ==Synopsis==
| |
| | |
| amdd [-d ] [if=input] [of=output] [bs=blocksize] [skip=count] [count=count]
| |
| | |
| ==DESCRIPTION==
| |
| | |
| Amdd provides just enough of the standard UNIX dd command for the needs of AMANDA. This is handy when doing a full restore and the standard dd program has not yet been found.
| |
| | |
| Amdd also provides access to the AMANDA output drivers that support various tape simulations. This may be used for debugging or to convert from one format to another.
| |
| | |
| See the amanda(8) man page for more details about AMANDA. See the OUTPUT DRIVERS section of amanda(8) for more information on the AMANDA output drivers. | |
| | |
| ==OPTIONS==
| |
| | |
| -d Turn on debugging output.
| |
| -llength Set the output length. If the output driver limits the output size, this controls when end of tape will be simulated.
| |
| | |
| Length may have a multiplier suffix:
| |
| k -> 1024 (Kilobytes)
| |
| b -> 512 (Blocks)
| |
| M -> 1024*1024 (Megabytes)
| |
| The default is no multiplier (bytes).
| |
| | |
| if=input Input to dd. Default is stdin.
| |
| of=output Where to send the output of dd. Default is stdout.
| |
| bs=blocksize Size of each record. Input records smaller than this will not be padded. Output records will be the same size as the corresponding input record. Default is 512 bytes.
| |
| | |
| Blocksize may have a multiplier suffix:
| |
| k -> 1024 (Kilobytes)
| |
| b -> 512 (Blocks)
| |
| M -> 1024*1024 (Megabytes)
| |
| The default is no multiplier (bytes).
| |
| | |
| count=count Number of records to copy. Default is all records until end of file.
| |
| skip=count Number of records to skip before copying input to output. Default is zero.
