-.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:
