DESCRIPTION¶
After Amanda rpms are successfully installed, amserverconfig will setup initial Amanda configuration files. It will create /var/lib/amanda/guntar-lists directory if one does not exist. amserverconfig does not change existing Amanda configurations. amserverconfig must be run by user backup.OPTIONS¶
Options may be abbreviated, as long as the abbreviation is not ambiguous. Option argument can either separated by '=' or a space. Example: --templ=harddisk --tapedev /dev/nst0 amserverconfig builds a new "config" Amanda configuration. Customize the configuration with the options below. --template templatebuild Amanda configuration with pre-configured template
files. Currently, harddisk, single-tape, tape-changer and
S3 are the valid inputs for this option. Pre-configured template files
can be found in /var/lib/amanda/template.d. This option may be combined with
other options.
If tape-changer is chosen for this option, program mtx is required.
amserverconfig will search for mtx in the following directory:
"/usr/sbin", "/usr/local/sbin",
"/usr/local/bin", "/usr/bin", "/bin" and
backup's PATH.
If harddisk is chosen and --no-vtape is not specified, amserverconfig
will create and label virtual tape file://var/lib/amanda/vtapes/$config.
