AMREPORT(1)AMREPORT(1)NAMEamreport - generate a formatted output of statistics for
an Amanda run
SYNOPSISamreport [ 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 postscript_
file 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 tem
plates 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 origi
nal size of the dump and the size of the (possibly com
pressed) tape file.

AMREPORT(1)AMREPORT(1)
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 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.
