+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBAmcheckdump\fR
+verifies
+\fIAmanda\fR
+dump images by reading them from storage volume(s) and verifying that the images can be parsed by the appropriate application (if available)\. For example, a GNUTAR image is passed to GNU Tar for parsing, and any errors (e\.g\., corrupt or missing data) are noted\.
+.PP
+The application runs on the most recent dump or, if
+\fI\-\-timestamp\fR
+is specified, on the most recent dump with that timestamp\. Note that the verification is local to the
+\fIAmanda\fR
+server; if the dump application is not available, or is configured differently on the server than on the client, then the verification will most likely fail\.
+.PP
+If a changer is available, it is used to load the required tapes\. Otherwise, the application interactively requests the tapes\.
+.PP
+See the "\fBCONFIGURATION OVERRIDE\fR" section in
+\fBamanda\fR(8)

+\-o
