37 After Amanda rpms are successfully installed,
39 will setup initial Amanda configuration files\&. It will create /var/lib/amanda/guntar\-lists directory if one does not exist\&.
41 does not change existing Amanda configurations\&.
43 must be run by user amandabackup\&.
46 Options may be abbreviated, as long as the abbreviation is not ambiguous\&. Option argument can either separated by \*(Aq=\*(Aq or a space\&. Example: \-\-templ=harddisk \-\-tapedev /dev/nst0
50 builds a new "config" Amanda configuration\&. Customize the configuration with the options below\&.
52 \fB\-\-template template\fR
54 build Amanda configuration with pre\-configured template files\&. Currently,
60 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\&.
62 If tape\-changer is chosen for this option, program mtx is required\&.
64 will search for mtx in the following directory: "/usr/sbin", "/usr/local/sbin", "/usr/local/bin", "/usr/bin", "/bin" and amandabackup\*(Aqs PATH\&.
66 If harddisk is chosen and \-\-no\-vtape is not specified,
68 will create and label virtual tape file://var/lib/amanda/vtapes/$config\&.
73 Do not create virtual tapes in the harddisk template case\&.
76 \fB\-\-tapedev tapedev\fR
78 The path name of non\-rewinding tape device\&. default [file://var/lib/amanda/vtapes/$config]
81 \fB\-\-tpchanger tpchanger\fR
83 The name of the tape changer\&. default [chg\-disk]
86 \fB\-\-changerdev changerdev\fR
88 A tape changer configuration parameter\&. default [/dev/null]
91 \fB\-\-changerfile changerfile\fR
93 A tape changer configuration parameter\&. default [/etc/amanda/$config/changer\&.conf]
96 \fB\-\-labelstr labelstr\fR
98 The tape label constraint regular expression\&. default [^$config\-[0\-9][0\-9]*$]
100 If this option is used with \-\-template=harddisk, only alphanumeric string is supported\&.
103 \fB\-\-tapetype tapetype\fR
105 The type of tape drive associated with tapedev or tpchanger\&. default [HARDDISK]
108 \fB\-\-mailto mailto\fR
110 A space separated list of recipients for mail reports\&. default [amandabackup]
113 \fB\-\-dumpcycle dumpcycle\fR
115 The number of days in the backup cycle\&. default [1week]
118 \fB\-\-runspercycle runspercycle\fR
120 The number of days in the backup cycle\&. default [5]
123 \fB\-\-runtapes runtapes\fR
125 The maximum number of tapes used in a single run\&. default [1]
128 \fB\-\-tapecycle tapecycle\fR
130 The size of tape rotation\&. default [25]
139 \fB/var/lib/amanda/template\&.d\fR
141 Amanda configuration template files install location
144 \fB/var/lib/amanda\fR
146 amandabackup home directory
149 \fB/var/lib/amanda/gnutar\-lists\fR
151 A directory which contains backup timestamp and list of files backed up\&.
154 \fB/etc/amanda/$config\fR
156 Amanda configuration files location for $config(e\&.g: DailySet1)\&.
159 \fB/etc/amanda/template\&.d\fR
161 A directory contains dumptypes and tapetypes files used by all Amanda configurations\&.
166 Amanda file on the client\&. It keeps track of structures of previous dumps\&.
171 directory contains Amanda debug log files\&.
175 On success, zero is returned\&. On error, 1 is returned\&.
