==SYNOPSIS==
See {{man|8|amserverconfig}}.
amserverconfig config [--template template] [--tapetype tapetype] [--tpchanger tpchanger] [--tapedev tapedev]  [--changer-file changerfile] [--changerdev changerdev] [--labelstr labelstr] [--mailto mailto] [--dumpcycle dumpcycle] [--runspercycle runspercycle] [--runtapes runtapes] [--tapecycle tapecycle] [--help]
 
==DESCRIPTION==
 
After  Amanda rpm  is  successfully  installed, amserverconfig  will setup initial Amanda configuration files. It will
create /var/lib/amanda/guntar-lists directory if one does  not  exist. amserverconfig  does  not  change  existing  Amanda  configurations.
amserverconfig must be run by user amandabackup.
 
==OPTIONS==
 
Options may be abbreviated, as long as the abbreviation is not ambiguous. Option argument can either separated by ’=’ or a space.
  Example:  --templ=harddisk
 
amserverconfig creates a backup set.  Customize the configuration with the options below.
 
; --template template : build Amanda configuration with  pre-configured template files. Currently, harddisk, single-tape and              tape-changer are the valid inputs for this option.  Pre-configured template files can be found in /var/lib/amanda/template.d.  If this option is used, other options supplied will be ignored.
 
: If  tape-changer  is  chosen  for  this  option, program mtx is required.  amserverconfig will search for mtx in the  following directory:  "/usr/sbin",  "/usr/local/sbin",  "/usr/local/bin", "/usr/bin", "/bin" and amandabackup's PATH.
 
;--tapedev tapedev : The  path  name  of  non-rewinding  tape  device.  Default [file://var/lib/amanda/vtapes/$config]
 
: If  --template=harddisk  is  chosen,  amserverconfig  will  create and label virtual tape file://var/lib/amanda/vtapes/$config.
 
;--tpchanger tpchanger : The name of the tape changer. The default is "chg-disk" for vtape. If you are using real tape changer use "chg-zd-mtx".
 
;--changerdev changerdev : A tape changer configuration parameter. default [/dev/null]
 
;--changerfile changerfile : A tape changer configuration parameter. default [/etc/amanda/$config/changer.conf]
 
;--labelstr labelstr : The tape label constraint regular expression.  default  [^$config-[0-9][0-9]*$].
If this option is used with --template=harddisk, only alphanumeric string is supported.
 
;--tapetype tapetype : The  type  of  tape drive associated with tapedev or tpchanger. default [HARDDISK]
 
;--mailto mailto : A space separated list of recipients for mail reports.  default [amandabackup]
 
;--dumpcycle dumpcycle : The number of days in the backup cycle. default [1week]
 
;--runspercycle runspercycle : The number of days in the backup cycle. default [5]
 
;--runtapes runtapes : The maximum number of tapes used in a single run. default [1]
 
;--tapecycle tapecycle : The size of tape rotation. default [25]
 
;--help : Display usage.
 
==Examples for amserverconfig==
 
====For Single tape drive configuration====
 
Configuration Information:
 
1. Single DLT tape drive (Device Name: /dev/nst0)
 
2. 6 DLT tapes
 
3. Using dumptype "comp-user-tar" compressed backups :
 
Use the amservercofig script to create Single Tape Drive Configuration
 
amserverconfig SingleDrive --template single-tape --tapedev /dev/nst0 --mailto [email protected]
--dumpcycle 1week --runspercycle 5 --tapecycle 6
 
'''
 
====For Tape Library Configuration====
 
 
1. Use the amservercofig script to create a Tape Changer Configuration
amserverconfig  DailyBackup --template tape-changer
 
 
====For Vtape Configuration====
 
As user root:
 
1.Create holding disk and vtape directory:
 
[root@quartz ~]# mkdir -p /data/amanda/hold
[root@quartz ~]# mkdir -p /data/amanda/vtape/DailySet1
[root@quartz ~]# chown -R amandabackup:disk /data/amanda/hold
[root@quartz ~]# chown -R amandabackup:disk /data/amanda/vtape/DailySet1
[root@quartz ~]# chmod -R 750 /data/amanda/hold
[root@quartz ~]# chmod -R 750 /data/amanda/vtape/DailySet1
 
As user amandabackup run amserverconfig to create a vtape configuration:
amserverconfig DailySet1 --template harddisk --tapedev /data/amanda/vtape/DailySet1 --mailto admin@localhost
--runtapes 25
