Amdevcheck
NAME
amdevcheck - Validate an Amanda device and volume.
SYNOPSIS
amdevcheck config [device name] [-o configoption]...
DESCRIPTION
Amdevcheck provides a way to check that a particular Amanda device is accessible, whether or not it contains a volume, and whether or not that volume is labeled. Some devices can’t distinguish between all of these cases; a missing volume and an unlabeled volume might generate the same error code, for example. In those cases, this tool reports all possible causes of the error.
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.
