170 amvault \- Copy \fIAmanda\fR dumps from one volume to another
173 .HP \w'\fBamvault\fR\ 'u

178 This application is not yet in its final form, and is subject to major revision in subsequent versions of Amanda\&. Backward compatibility is not guaranteed\&.
180 The significant limitations of this version of amvault are: tapetypes for secondary and tertiary volumes much match (including length and device_properties); tertiary volumes must be blank (manual erasure is required to re\-use tertiary media; restore/recover operations will request tertiary media by label when dumpfiles are not found on secondary media, but there is no provision to automatically fetch such media from a different changer; and all dumpfiles on a secondary volume are moved to tertiary media \- there is no provision to filter dumps\&.
182 Feedback on and patches to this application are invited and encouraged!
186 Copies data from the run with timestamp
187 \fIsrc\-run\-timestamp\fR
188 onto volumes using the changer
189 \fIdst\-changer\fR, labeling new volumes with
190 \fIlabel\-template\fR\&. If
191 \fIsrc\-run\-timestamp\fR
192 is "latest", then the most recent amdump or amflush run will be used\&.
194 In a vaulting operation, the source media is referred to as "secondary media", while the destination is referred to as "tertiary media"\&.
196 Each source volume will be copied to a new destination volume; no re\-assembly or splitting will be performed\&. Destination volumes must be at least as large as the source volumes\&.
198 The changer parameter should specify the name of a changer defined in
199 \fBamanda.conf\fR(5)\&. For example:
202 define changer vaulting_tape {
203 tapedev "/dev/rmt/1n"
204 tpchanger "chg\-zd\-mtx"
205 changerdev "/dev/sg0"
206 changerfile "vaulting\-changer\&.conf"
210 The label template functions identically to the
211 \fIlabel\-new\-tapes\fR
213 \fBamanda.conf\fR(5)\&.
