29 verifies Amanda dump images by reading them from storage volume(s) and verifying that the images can be parsed by the appropriate application (if available)\&. For example, a GNUTAR image is passed to GNU Tar for parsing, and any errors (e\&.g\&., corrupt or missing data) are noted\&.
31 The application runs on the most recent dump or, if
33 is specified, on the most recent dump with that timestamp\&. Note that the verification is local to the Amanda server; if the dump application is not available, or is configured differently on the server than on the client, then the verification will most likely fail\&.
35 If a changer is available, it is used to load the required tapes\&. Otherwise, the application interactively requests the tapes\&.
