Useful Amanda tools
- tapecat - Information regarding the amanda tape and tape contents are displayed. The information includes the tape label, the diskdevice and the diskname as specified in the disklist file.
- amandatape - A perl script to print labels for Amanda backup tapes. Download the file and save it as amandatape
- Lto-barcode - A perl script to generate barcode labels for LTO Tapes (not amanda specific)
- testgtar - A perl script to test GNU tar exclude patterns. It takes exclude file and DLE as the parameters.
- Gene's Amanda helper scripts - This tar ball contains amdump and amflush helper script (bak-indices-configs) that backs up configuration and indexes generated by the backup run to the end of the current tape/vtape. The availability of configuration and indices would permit bare metal recovery. Please read README file in the tar ball before using the tools. Modify the tool for the Amanda configuration.
- Amanda operators manual - This manual is used by Amanda Administrators at AIT in Thailand. The operators manual has information about tape management, troubleshooting, Amanda backup scheduling and Amanda index database.
- chg-multiplex - A changer-script, intended to restore from multiple backup-configs
- ShowNextTapeNeeded - Bash script to determine which tapes will be required for the next dump
