Backward compatibility is not guaranteed\&. .PP 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\&. .PP Feedback on and patches to this application are invited and encouraged! .SH "DESCRIPTION" .PP \fBAmvault\fR Copies data from the run with timestamp \fIsrc\-run\-timestamp\fR onto volumes using the changer \fIdst\-changer\fR, labeling new volumes with \fIlabel\-template\fR\&. If \fIsrc\-run\-timestamp\fR is "latest", then the most recent amdump or amflush run will be used\&. .PP In a vaulting operation, the source media is referred to as "secondary media", while the destination is referred to as "tertiary media"\&. .PP 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\&. .PP The changer parameter should specify the name of a changer defined in \fBamanda.conf\fR(5)\&. For example: .sp .nf define changer vaulting_tape { tapedev "/dev/rmt/1n" tpchanger "chg\-zd\-mtx" changerdev "/dev/sg0" changerfile "vaulting\-changer\&.conf" } .fi .PP The label template functions identically to the \fIlabel\-new\-tapes\fR parameter in \fBamanda.conf\fR(5)\&. .SH "SEE ALSO" .PP \fBamanda\fR(8) .SH "Author" .PP \fBDustin J\&.
