AMVERIFY(8)					      AMVERIFY(8)

NAME
       amverify - check an Amanda tape for errors

SYNOPSIS
       amverify config [ slot ]

DESCRIPTION
       Amverify	 reads	an Amanda format tape and makes sure each
       backup image can be processed by amrestore and, if  possi-
       ble, the appropriate system restore program (e.g. tar).

       Amverify runs amrestore on each file of the tape and pipes
       the output to the system restore program with an option to
       create a catalogue of the backup.  The catalogue itself is
       discarded.  Only the success or failure of  the	operation
       itself is reported.

       If  the	dump  image  cannot  be	 processed  by the system
       restore program, e.g. if it was	written	 on  a	different
       operating  system,  the	image is still processed by amre-
       store but thrown away.  This still determines if the  tape
       is  readable,  but  does	 not  do any internal consistency
       check on the image.

       If config is set up to use a tape changer, the slot  argu-
       ment  may  be  used  to	choose the first tape to process.
       Otherwise, the current slot is used.

       The runtapes configuration parameter determines	how  many
       tapes are processed.

       See  the amanda(8) man page for more details about Amanda.
