\14 generate a formatted output of statistics for an AMANDA run
13 amreport [config] [ -l logfile ] [ -f outputfile ] [ -p postscriptfile ]
17 Amreport generates a summary report of an amanda(8) backup run. If no
18 configuration name is specified, amanda.conf is read from the current
20 See the amanda(8) man page for more details about AMANDA.
27 Name of the configuration to process.
30 Name of the log file to parse to generate the report. If a log file is
31 not specified, it defaults to the file:
34 where logdir is the log directory defined in amanda.conf.
38 Normally, amreport sends the report via e-mail to the mailto user as
39 defined in the amanda.conf file. If outputfile is specified, then the
40 report is put in outputfile.
43 Send the postscript output to the file postscriptfile instead of to the
44 lpr(1) command. This option has an effect only if the lbl-templ directive
45 is specified in amanda.conf.
50 AMANDA can print postscript labels describing the contents of tape(s) written
51 in a run. The labels are designed to be folded and inserted into the tape case
52 along with the tape or hole punched and put in a 3-ring binder. Various label
53 templates are provided to format data for different tape sizes.
54 The information printed varies slightly between label templates due to size
55 constraints. Labels contain one line for each host/file-system pair and may
56 also contain the file number on the tape, the level of the dump, the original
57 size of the dump and the size of the (possibly compressed) tape file.
58 Add the lbl-templ parameter to the tapetype definition in amanda.conf to enable
59 labels. If you don't add this line to your tapetype definition, amreport will
60 not print tape labels.
61 You may use the remap='I'>printer keyword in amanda.conf to print to other than
62 the system default printer.
66 AMANDA provides label templates for the following tape types. These are pretty
67 generic labels and should be easy to customize for other tape types or
68 particular site needs.
74 The 3-ring binder type is the most generic. It may be used to make a hardcopy
