+amreport \14 generate a formatted output of statistics for an AMANDA run
+
+Synopsis
+
+amreport [config] [ -l logfile ] [ -f outputfile ] [ -p postscriptfile ]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+
+Amreport generates a summary report of an amanda(8) backup run. If no
+configuration name is specified, amanda.conf is read from the current
+directory.
+See the amanda(8) man page for more details about AMANDA.
+
+OPTIONS
+
+
+
+ config
+ Name of the configuration to process.
+
+ -l logfile
+ Name of the log file to parse to generate the report. If a log file is
+ not specified, it defaults to the file:
+
+logdir/log
+where logdir is the log directory defined in amanda.conf.
+
+
+ -f outputfile
+ Normally, amreport sends the report via e-mail to the mailto user as
+ defined in the amanda.conf file. If outputfile is specified, then the
+ report is put in outputfile.
+
+ -p postscriptfile
+ Send the postscript output to the file postscriptfile instead of to the
+ lpr(1) command. This option has an effect only if the lbl-templ directive
+ is specified in amanda.conf.
+
+
+LABEL PRINTING
+
+AMANDA can print postscript labels describing the contents of tape(s) written
+in a run. The labels are designed to be folded and inserted into the tape case
+along with the tape or hole punched and put in a 3-ring binder. Various label
+templates are provided to format data for different tape sizes.
+The information printed varies slightly between label templates due to size
+constraints. Labels contain one line for each host/file-system pair and may
+also contain the file number on the tape, the level of the dump, the original
+size of the dump and the size of the (possibly compressed) tape file.
+Add the lbl-templ parameter to the tapetype definition in amanda.conf to enable
+labels. If you don't add this line to your tapetype definition, amreport will
+not print tape labels.
+You may use the remap='I'>printer keyword in amanda.conf to print to other than
+the system default printer.
+
+TEMPLATES
+
+AMANDA provides label templates for the following tape types. These are pretty
+generic labels and should be easy to customize for other tape types or
+particular site needs.
+
+* ExaByte 8mm tapes
+* DAT 4mm tapes
+* DLT tapes
+* 3-ring binder
+The 3-ring binder type is the most generic. It may be used to make a hardcopy
+log of the tapes.
