28 After Amanda rpms are successfully installed,
30 will setup initial Amanda configuration files\&. It will create /var/lib/amanda/guntar\-lists directory if one does not exist\&.
32 does not change existing Amanda configurations\&.
34 must be run by user amandabackup\&.
37 Options may be abbreviated, as long as the abbreviation is not ambiguous\&. Option argument can either separated by \'=\' or a space\&. Example: \-\-templ=harddisk \-\-tapedev /dev/nst0
41 builds a new "config" Amanda configuration\&. Customize the configuration with the options below\&.
43 \fB\-\-template template\fR
45 build Amanda configuration with pre\-configured template files\&. Currently,
51 are the valid inputs for this option\&. Pre\-configured template files can be found in /var/lib/amanda/template\&.d\&. This option may be combined with other options\&.
53 If tape\-changer is chosen for this option, program mtx is required\&.
55 will search for mtx in the following directory: "/usr/sbin", "/usr/local/sbin", "/usr/local/bin", "/usr/bin", "/bin" and amandabackup\'s PATH\&.
57 If harddisk is chosen and \-\-no\-vtape is not specified,
59 will create and label virtual tape file://var/lib/amanda/vtapes/$config\&.
64 Do not create virtual tapes in the harddisk template case\&.
67 \fB\-\-tapedev tapedev\fR
69 The path name of non\-rewinding tape device\&. default [file://var/lib/amanda/vtapes/$config]
72 \fB\-\-tpchanger tpchanger\fR
74 The name of the tape changer\&. default [chg\-disk]
77 \fB\-\-changerdev changerdev\fR
79 A tape changer configuration parameter\&. default [/dev/null]
82 \fB\-\-changerfile changerfile\fR
84 A tape changer configuration parameter\&. default [/etc/amanda/$config/changer\&.conf]
87 \fB\-\-labelstr labelstr\fR
89 The tape label constraint regular expression\&. default [^$config\-[0\-9][0\-9]*$]
91 If this option is used with \-\-template=harddisk, only alphanumeric string is supported\&.
94 \fB\-\-tapetype tapetype\fR
96 The type of tape drive associated with tapedev or tpchanger\&. default [HARDDISK]
99 \fB\-\-mailto mailto\fR
101 A space separated list of recipients for mail reports\&. default [amandabackup]
104 \fB\-\-dumpcycle dumpcycle\fR
106 The number of days in the backup cycle\&. default [1week]
109 \fB\-\-runspercycle runspercycle\fR
111 The number of days in the backup cycle\&. default [5]
114 \fB\-\-runtapes runtapes\fR
116 The maximum number of tapes used in a single run\&. default [1]
119 \fB\-\-tapecycle tapecycle\fR
121 The size of tape rotation\&. default [25]
130 \fB/var/lib/amanda/template\&.d\fR
132 Amanda configuration template files install location
135 \fB/var/lib/amanda\fR
137 amandabackup home directory
140 \fB/var/lib/amanda/gnutar\-lists\fR
142 A directory which contains backup timestamp and list of files backed up\&.
145 \fB/etc/amanda/$config\fR
147 Amanda configuration files location for $config(e\&.g: DailySet1)\&.
150 \fB/etc/amanda/template\&.d\fR
152 A directory contains dumptypes and tapetypes files used by all Amanda configurations\&.
157 Amanda file on the client\&. It keeps track of structures of previous dumps\&.
162 directory contains Amanda debug log files\&.
166 On success, zero is returned\&. On error, 1 is returned\&.
