.PP
\fBAmdump\fR
-switches to the appropriate
-\fIAmanda\fR
-configuration directory, e\&.g\&. /usr/local/etc/amanda/\fIconfig\fR, then attempts to back up every disk specified by the
-\fIamanda\&.conf\fR
-file\&.
+is the main interface to the Amanda backup process\&. It loads the specified configuration and attempts to back up every disk specified by the
+\fBdisklist\fR(5)\&.
\fBAmdump\fR
is normally run by
\fBcron\fR\&.
.PP
-You can specify many host/disk expressions, only disks that match an expression will be dumped\&. All disks are dumped if no expressions are given\&.
+The command optionally takes a set of DLE specifications (see
+\fBamanda-match\fR(7)) to narrow the DLEs that will be dumped\&. All disks are dumped if no expressions are given\&.
.PP
-If the file /usr/local/etc/amanda/\fIconfig\fR/hold exists,
+If a file named
+hold
+exists in the configuration directory,
\fBamdump\fR
will wait until it is removed before starting the backups\&. This allows scheduled backups to be delayed when circumstances warrant, for example, if the tape device is being used for some other purpose\&. While waiting,
\fBamdump\fR
checks for the hold file every minute\&.
.PP
+In some cases it is desirable to dump all Amanda clients to holding disk without writing anything to storage media\&. The
+\fB\-\-no\-taper\fR
+option instructs Amanda to not start the taper, and thus enter degraded mode immediately\&.

\fBamanda\fR(8)
