-Name
-
-amdump \14 back up all disks in an Amanda configuration
-
-Synopsis
-
-amdump config [ host [disk...] ...] [ -o configoption]...
-
-DESCRIPTION
-
-Amdump switches to the appropriate Amanda configuration directory, e.g. /usr/
-local/etc/amanda/config, then attempts to back up every disk specified by the
-amanda.conf file. Amdump is normally run by cron.
-You can specify many host/disk expressions, only disks that match an expression
-will be dumped. All disks are dumped if no expressions are given.
-If the file /usr/local/etc/amanda/config/hold exists, amdump will wait until it
-is removed before starting the backups. This allows scheduled backups to be
-delayed when circumstances warrant, for example, if the tape device is being
-used for some other purpose. While waiting, amdump checks for the hold file
-every minute.
-See the amanda(8) man page for more details about Amanda.
-
-OPTIONS

-
-Please see the crontab(5) or crontab(1) manual page for the correct crontab
-format for your system.

-
- amdump: waiting for hold file to be removed
- The "hold" file exists and amdump is waiting for it to be removed before
- starting backups.
-
- amdump: amdump or amflush is already running, or you must run amcleanup
- Amdump detected another amdump or amflush running, or the remains of a
- previous incomplete amdump or amflush run. This run is terminated. If the
- problem is caused by the remains of a previous run, you must execute
- amcleanup(8) and then rerun amdump.
