COMMANDS
force-bump [ hostname [ disks ]* ]+
Force the disks on hostname to bump to a new incremental level during the
- next AMANDA run.
+ next Amanda run.
force-no-bump [ hostname [ disks ]* ]+
Force the disks on hostname to not bump to a new incremental level during
- the next AMANDA run.
+ the next Amanda run.
unforce-bump [ hostname [ disks ]* ]+
Undo a previous force-bump or force-no-bump command.
force [ hostname [ disks ]* ]+
Force the disks on hostname to do a full (level 0) backup during the next
- AMANDA run.
+ Amanda run.
unforce [ hostname [ disks ]* ]+
Undo a previous force command.
no-reuse tapelabel [ ... ]
The tapes listed will not be reused when their turn comes up again in the
tape cycle. Note that if this causes the number of reusable tapes to drop
- below the amanda.conf tapecycle value, AMANDA will request new tapes
+ below the amanda.conf tapecycle value, Amanda will request new tapes
until the count is satisfied again.
due [ hostname [ disks ]* ]*
Show when the next full dump is due.
- find [ --sort hkdlb ] [ hostname [ disks ]* ]*
+ find [ --sort hkdlpb ] [ hostname [ disks ]* ]*
Display all backups currently on tape or in the holding disk. The tape
label or holding disk filename, file number, and status are displayed.
The --sort option changes the sort order using the following flags:
- hhost name kdisk name ddump date lbackup level btape label
+ hhost name kdisk name ddump date lbackup level p dump part btape label
An uppercase letter reverses the sort order for that key. The default
- sort order is hkdlb.
+ sort order is hkdlpb.
delete [ hostname [ disks ]* ]+
- Delete the specified disks on hostname from the AMANDA database.
+ Delete the specified disks on hostname from the Amanda database.
Note
- If you do not also remove the disk from the disklist file, AMANDA will
+ If you do not also remove the disk from the disklist file, Amanda will
treat it as a new disk during the next run.
tape
- Display the tape(s) AMANDA expects to write to during the next run. See
+ Display the tape(s) Amanda expects to write to during the next run. See
also amcheck(8).
bumpsize
Display the distribution of full backups throughout the dump schedule.
export [ hostname [ disks ]* ]*
- Convert records from the AMANDA database to a text format that may be
- transmitted to another AMANDA machine and imported.
+ Convert records from the Amanda database to a text format that may be

import
- Convert exported records read from standard input to a form AMANDA uses
+ Convert exported records read from standard input to a form Amanda uses
and insert them into the database on this machine.
disklist [ hostname [ disks ]* ]*
Display the database record for each of the disks on hostname (or all
hosts). Mostly used for debugging.
