-.SH "CONFIGURATION"
-.PP
-There are three user\-editable files that control the behavior of
-\fIAmanda\fR\.
-.PP
-The first is
-\fBamanda\.conf\fR, the main configuration file\. It contains parameters to customize
-\fIAmanda\fR
-for the site\. Refer to the
-\fBamanda.conf\fR(5), manpage for details on
-\fIAmanda\fR
-configuration parameters\.
-.PP
-Second is the
-\fIdisklist\fR
-file, which lists hosts and disk partitions to back up\.
-.PP
-Third is the
-\fItapelist\fR
-file, which lists tapes that are currently active\. These files are described in more detail in the following sections\.
-.PP
-All files are stored in individual configuration directories under
-\fI/usr/local/etc/amanda/\fR\. A site will often have more than one configuration\. For example, it might have a
-\fInormal\fR
-configuration for everyday backups and an
-\fIarchive\fR
-configuration for infrequent full archival backups\. The configuration files would be stored under directories
-\fI/usr/local/etc/amanda/normal/\fR
-and
-\fI/usr/local/etc/amanda/archive/\fR, respectively\. Part of the job of an
-\fIAmanda\fR
-administrator is to create, populate and maintain these directories\.
-.PP
-All log and database files generated by
-\fIAmanda\fR
-go in corresponding directories somewhere\. The exact location is controlled by entries in
-\fBamanda\.conf\fR\. A typical location would be under
-\fI/var/adm/amanda\fR\. For the above example, the files might go in
-\fI/var/adm/amanda/normal/\fR
-and
-\fI/var/adm/amanda/archive/\fR\.
-.PP
-As log files are no longer needed (no longer contain relevant information),
-\fIAmanda\fR
-cycles them out in various ways, depending on the type of file\.
-.PP
-Detailed information about
-\fBamdump\fR
-runs are stored in files named
-\fBamdump\.\fR\fINN\fR
-where
-\fINN\fR
-is a sequence number, with 1 being the most recent file\.
-\fBAmdump\fR
-rotates these files each run, keeping roughly the last
-\fBtapecycle\fR
-(see below) worth of them\.
-.PP
-The file used by
-\fBamreport\fR
-to generate the mail summary is named
-\fBlog\.\fR\fIYYYYMMDD\.NN\fR
-where
-\fIYYYYMMDD\fR
-is the datestamp of the start of the
-\fBamdump\fR
-run and
-\fINN\fR
-is a sequence number started at 0\. At the end of each
-\fBamdump\fR
-run, log files for runs whose tapes have been reused are renamed into a subdirectory of the main log directory (see the
-\fBlogdir\fR
-parameter below) named
-\fBoldlog\fR\. It is up to the
-\fIAmanda\fR
-administrator to remove them from this directory when desired\.
-.PP
-Index (backup image catalogue) files older than the full dump matching the oldest backup image for a given client and disk are removed by
-\fBamdump\fR
-at the end of each run\.
-.SH "DISKLIST FILE"
-.PP
-The
-\fIdisklist\fR
-file determines which disks will be backed up by
-\fIAmanda\fR\. The file usually contains one line per disk:
