| amverify — check an Amanda tape for errors
| |
| | |
| ==Synopsis==
| |
| | |
| amverify config [ slot [runtapes]]
| |
| | |
| ==DESCRIPTION==
| |
| | |
| Amverify reads an Amanda format tape and makes sure each backup image can be processed by amrestore and, if possible, the appropriate restore program (e.g. tar).
| |
| | |
| Amverify runs amrestore on each file of the tape and pipes the output to a restore program (if available) with an option to create a catalogue of the backup. The catalogue itself is discarded. Only the success or failure of the operation itself is reported.
| |
| | |
| If the backup image cannot be processed by the restore program, e.g. if it was written on a different operating system, the image is sent through dd to /dev/null. This still determines if the tape is readable, but does not do any internal consistency check on the image.
| |
| | |
| If config is set up to use a tape changer, the slot argument may be used to choose the first tape to process. Otherwise, the current slot is used.
| |
| | |
| The runtapes configuration parameter determines how many tapes are processed unless it is specified on the command line.

| See the amanda(8) man page for more details about Amanda.
