- AAAAmmmmaaaaddddmmmmiiiinnnn performs various administrative tasks on the _c_o_n_f_i_g
- Amanda configuration.
-
- See the _a_m_a_n_d_a(8) man page for more details about Amanda.
-

- All commands that take _h_o_s_t_n_a_m_e [ _d_i_s_k_s ] parameters operate
- on all the disks in the _d_i_s_k_l_i_s_t for that _h_o_s_t_n_a_m_e if no
- disks are specified.
-
- _D_i_s_k_s are regular expressions, so "sd0" will match disks
- "sd0a" and "sd0g" and "/mnt" will match "/mnt", "/mnt/a",
- and "/mnt/b". To match only "/mnt", use "^/mnt$". This is
- the same mechanism used by _a_m_r_e_s_t_o_r_e(_8).
-
- vvvveeeerrrrssssiiiioooonnnn
- Show the current version and some compile time and
- runtime parameters.
-
- ffffoooorrrrcccceeee _h_o_s_t_n_a_m_e [ _d_i_s_k_s ]
- Force the _d_i_s_k_s on _h_o_s_t_n_a_m_e to do a full level 0 backup
- during the next Amanda run.
-
- uuuunnnnffffoooorrrrcccceeee _h_o_s_t_n_a_m_e [ _d_i_s_k_s ]

- The tapes _t_a_p_e_l_a_b_e_l will be reuse in the cycle.
-
- nnnnoooo----rrrreeeeuuuusssseeee [ _t_a_p_e_l_a_b_e_l ]

-
- ffffiiiinnnndddd [ --------ssssoooorrrrtttt hhhhkkkkddddllllbbbb ] _h_o_s_t_n_a_m_e [ _d_i_s_k_s ]
- Display all backups currently on tape for each disk.
- The tape label, file number, and status are displayed.
-
- The --------ssssoooorrrrtttt option changes the sort order using the
- following flags:
-
- hhhh host name
- kkkk disk name
- dddd dump date
- llll backup level
- bbbb tape label

-

- Delete the specified _d_i_s_k_s from the Amanda database.
-
- Note: if you do not also remove the disk from the
- _d_i_s_k_l_i_s_t file, Amanda will treat it as a new disk on
- the next run.

- machine and iiiimmmmppppoooorrrrtttted.
-

- Request three specific file systems on _m_a_c_h_i_n_e-_a get a full
- level 0 backup during the next Amanda run.
-
- Note the use of "^/$" to get the root file system. Without
- the extra regular expression characters, just "/" would have
- matched all the file systems on _m_a_c_h_i_n_e-_a.
-
- $ amadmin DailySet1 force machine-a "^/$" /var /usr
- amadmin: machine-a:/ is set to a forced level 0 tonight.
- amadmin: machine-a:/var is set to a forced level 0 tonight.
- amadmin: machine-a:/usr is set to a forced level 0 tonight.

- Request all file systems on _m_a_c_h_i_n_e-_b get a full level 0

- amadmin: machine-b:/usr is set to a forced level 0 tonight.
- amadmin: machine-b:/home is set to a forced level 0 tonight.
-
- Undo the previous ffffoooorrrrcccceeee request for /_h_o_m_e on _m_a_c_h_i_n_e-_b. The
- other file systems will still get a full level 0 backup.
-
- $ amadmin DailySet1 unforce machine-b /home
- amadmin: force command for machine-b:/home cleared.
-
- Locate tapes holding /_v_a_r from _m_a_c_h_i_n_e-_c. The _f_i_l_e column
- tells you which file on the tape has the backup (file number
- zero is a tape label). The _s_t_a_t_u_s column tells you whether
- the backup was successful or had some type of error.
-
- $ amadmin DailySet1 find machine-c /var

-
- Forget about the /_w_o_r_k_s_p_a_c_e disk on _m_a_c_h_i_n_e-_d. If you do
- not also remove the disk from the _d_i_s_k_l_i_s_t file, Amanda will
- treat it as a new disk on the next run.
-
- $ amadmin DailySet1 delete machine-d /workspace
- amadmin: machine-d:/workspace deleted from database.
- amadmin: NOTE: you'll have to remove these from the disklist yourself.
-
- Find the next tape Amanda will use (in this case, _1_2_3_4_5_6).
-
- $ amadmin DailySet1 tape
- The next Amanda run should go onto tape 123456 or a new tape.
-
- Show how well full backups are balanced across the dump
- cycle. The _d_u_e-_d_a_t_e column is the day the backups are due
- for a full backup. #_f_s shows the number of filesystems
- doing full backups that night, and _o_r_i_g _K_B and _o_u_t _K_B show
- the estimated total size of the backups before and after any
- compression, respectively.

-
- The _b_a_l_a_n_c_e column shows how far off that night's backups
- are from the average size (shown at the bottom of the
- balance column). Amanda tries to keep the backups within
- +/- 5%, but since the amount of data on each filesystem is
- always changing, and Amanda will never delay backups just to
- rebalance the schedule, it is common for the schedule to
- fluctuate by larger percentages. In particular, in the case
- of a tape or backup failure, a bump will occur the following
- night, which will not be smoothed out until the next pass
- through the schedule.
-
- The last line also shows an estimate of how many Amanda runs
- will be made between full backups for a file system. In the
- example, a file system will probably have a full backup done
- every eight times Amanda is run (e.g. every eight days).
