.SH "WARNING"
.PP
This application is not yet in its final form, and is subject to major revision in subsequent versions of Amanda\&. Backward compatibility is not guaranteed\&.
.PP
-The significant limitations of this version of amvault are: tapetypes for secondary and tertiary volumes much match (including length and device_properties); tertiary volumes must be blank (manual erasure is required to re\-use tertiary media; restore/recover operations will request tertiary media by label when dumpfiles are not found on secondary media, but there is no provision to automatically fetch such media from a different changer; and all dumpfiles on a secondary volume are moved to tertiary media \- there is no provision to filter dumps\&.
+Note that Amanda restore/recover operations will request tertiary media by label when dumpfiles are not found on secondary media, but there is no provision to automatically fetch such media from a different changer
.PP
Feedback on and patches to this application are invited and encouraged!
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
+Amvault is conceptually equivalent to "amfetchdump | taper"\&. That is, it reads specified dumps from secondary media and re\-writes them on tertiary media\&.
+.PP
\fBAmvault\fR
Copies data from the run with timestamp
-\fIsrc\-run\-timestamp\fR
+\fBsrc\-timestamp\fR
onto volumes using the changer
-\fIdst\-changer\fR, labeling new volumes with
-\fIlabel\-template\fR\&. If
-\fIsrc\-run\-timestamp\fR
-is "latest", then the most recent amdump or amflush run will be used\&.
+\fBdst\-changer\fR, and labeling new volumes with
+\fBlabel\-template\fR\&. If
+\fBsrc\-timestamp\fR
+is "latest", then the most recent amdump or amflush run will be used\&. If
+\fB\-\-fulls\-only\fR
+is given, then only full (level\-0) dumps are copied\&.
.PP
-In a vaulting operation, the source media is referred to as "secondary media", while the destination is referred to as "tertiary media"\&.
+The
+\fB\-\-quiet\fR
+(\fB\-q\fR) option will eliminate non\-error messages, and is useful when running amvault from cron\&. The
+\fB\-\-dry\-run\fR
+(\fB\-n\fR) option will cause amvault to print the dumps it would vault, but not actually perform any vaulting operations\&.
+.SS "Secondary Media"
.PP
-Each source volume will be copied to a new destination volume; no re\-assembly or splitting will be performed\&. Destination volumes must be at least as large as the source volumes\&.
+The dumps to be read from secondary media can be specified by any combination of dump specifications,
+\fB\-\-fulls\-only\fR, and
+\fB\-\-src\-timestamp\fR\&. At least one must be specified, lest amvault attempt to vault all dumps in the catalog\&. See
+\fBamanda-match\fR(7)
+for more information on dump specifications\&.
+.PP
+Note that the datestamp given in the dumpspec is the
+\fIdump\fR
+datestamp \- the run in which the backup was taken on the Amanda client\&. The
+\fB\-\-src\-timestamp\fR, on the other hand, is the
+\fIwrite\fR
+timestamp \- the run in which the dump was written to secondary media\&. The latter option facilitates duplicating the results of an entire backup run, including any dumps that might have been flushed from holding disk\&.
+.SS "Tertiary Media"
+.PP
+The
+\fB\-\-dst\-changer\fR
+must be specified, and names the changer in which tertiary media are stored\&. In general, this should be different from the secondary changer, to eliminate the possibility of overwriting secondary media with tertiary data\&.
.PP
The changer parameter should specify the name of a changer defined in
\fBamanda.conf\fR(5)\&. For example:
}
.fi
.PP
-The label template functions identically to the
-\fIlabel\-new\-tapes\fR
+The
+\fB\-\-label\-template\fR
+option is required, and specifies a label template which is used to generate new labels for tertiary volumes\&. The
+\fB\-\-autolabel\fR
+option works just like the
+\fBautolabel\fR
parameter in
-\fBamanda.conf\fR(5)\&.
+\fBamanda.conf\fR(5), and can be specified multiple times if necessary\&. The default is \'empty\'\&.
+.PP
+If
+\fBamanda.conf\fR(5)
+contains the new
+\fBpart\-size\fR
+splitting parameters, then amvault will use them without any additional configuration\&. However, if the configuration still uses the old splitting parameters (\fBtape_splitsize\fR,
+\fBsplit_diskbuffer\fR, and
+\fBfallback_splitsize\fR), then amvault will need some additional configuration in order to properly split dumps to tertiary media\&. To do so, specify a new tapetype in
+\fBamanda.conf\fR(5), say "TERTIARY", and set the
+\fBpart\-size\fR
+and other appropriate parameters there\&. Then reference that tapetype in the amvault invocation:
+.sp
+.nf
+ amvault \-otapetype=TERTIARY \&.\&.\&.
+.fi
+.PP
+The
+\fB\-\-export\fR
+option will cause amvault to attempt to move completed tertiary volumes to import/export slots, where they can be more easily removed by an operator\&.
