| | |
| '''ammt''' — Amanda version of mt
| |
| | |
| ==Synopsis==
| |
| | |
| '''ammt''' [-d ] [ -f | -t | device ] command [count]
| |
| | |
| ==DESCRIPTION==
| |
| | |
| Ammt provides just enough of the standard Unix mt command for the needs of Amanda. This is handy when doing a full restore and the standard mt program has not yet been found.
| |
| | |
| Ammt also provides access to the Amanda output drivers that support various tape simulations.
| |
| | |
| 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.
| |
| ; -f ''device'' : Access tape device device. If not specified, the TAPE environment variable is used.
| |
| ; -t ''device'' : Same as -f.
| |
| ; ''command'' count : Which command to issue, and an optional count of operations.
| |
| | |
| ==COMMANDS==
| |
| | |
| Each command may be abbreviated to whatever length makes it unique.
| |
| | |
| ; eof|weof ''count'' : Write count (default: 1) end of file marks (tapemarks).
| |
| ; fsf ''count'' : Skip forward count (default: 1) files.
| |
| ; bsf ''count'' : Skip backward count (default: 1) files.
| |
| ; asf ''count'' : Position to file number count (default: 0) where zero is beginning of tape. This is the same as a rewind followed by a fsf count.
| |
| ; rewind : Rewind to beginning of tape.
| |
| ; offline|rewoffl: Rewind to beginning of tape and unload the tape from the drive.
| |
| ; status : Report status information about the drive. Which data reported, and what it means, depends on the underlying operating system, and may include:
| |
| | |
| ONLINE Indicates the drive is online and ready.
| |
| OFFLINE Indicates the drive is offline or not ready.
| |
| BOT Indicates the drive is at beginning of tape.
| |
| EOT Indicates the drive is at end of tape.
| |
| PROTECTED Indicates the tape is write protected.
| |
| ds Device status.
| |
| er Error register.
| |
| fileno Current tape file number.
| |
| blkno Current tape block number file.
| |
| | |
| '''Note:'''
| |
| Many systems only report good data when a tape is in the drive and ready.
| |
| | |
| ==EXAMPLES==
| |
| | |
| Rewind a virtual tape (a virtual tape stores the data on disk, and is implemented as a directory with a subdir "data" in it):
| |
| | |
| $ ammt -f file:/space/vtape rewind
