COMMANDS
Commands that take a hostname [ disks ] parameter pair operate on all disks in
the disklist for that hostname if no disks are specified. Where hostname is
also marked as being optional, the command operates on all hosts and disks in
-the disklist. Both hostname and disks are special expressions, see the "HOST &
+the disklist. Both hostname and disks are special expressions; see the "HOST &
DISK EXPRESSION" section of amanda(8) for a description.
+Commands that take one or more dumpspec parameters operate on the set of dumps
+specified by all of the expressions. See the "DUMP SPECIFICATIONS" section of
+amanda(8) for a description.
version
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
+
+ h: host name
+ k: disk name
+ d: dump date
+ l: backup level
+ p: dump part
+ b: tape label
+
An uppercase letter reverses the sort order for that key. The default
- sort order is hkdlb.

+
+ holding delete hostname [ disk [ datestamp [ .. ] ] ]
+ Delete holding files matching the given specification. At least a
+ hostname must be provided.
+
+ holding list [-l] [ hostname [ disk [ datestamp [ .. ] ] ] ]
+ List holding files matching the given specification, or all holding files
+ if no specification is provided. With '-l', additional information (size
+ and level) is provided.
delete [ hostname [ disks ]* ]+
- Delete the specified disks on hostname from the AMANDA database.
+ Delete the specified disks on hostname from the Amanda database.
