amreport  -  generate a formatted output of statistics for
       an amdump run

SYNOPSIS

       amreport config [ -l log file ] [ -f output file  ]  [  -p
       postscript file ]

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, and log files are
       rotated, i.e., after the report is generated, the log file
       log  will be renamed to log.date.version where date is the
       current date in the form YYYYMMDD and version is the  next
       higher  version  of  the  logfile with the same date stamp
       starting with 0.

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

OPTIONS

       config Name of the configuration to process.

       -l log file
              Name  of  the  log  file  to  parse to generate the
              report. If a log file is  not  specified,  then  it
              defaults to the file:

                     logdir/log,

              logdir is the log directory defined in amanda.conf.

       -f output file
              Normally, amreport sends the report via  e-mail  to
              the mailto user as defined in the amanda.conf file.
              If output file is specified, then the report is put
              in output file.

       -p postscript file
              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. See LABEL PRINTING below.



          LABEL PRINTING

       Amanda  has  the  ability to print postscript labels which
       describe the contents of the tape being written  to.   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 have been provided
       label template to the next, due to size  constraints.  The
       labels contain one line for each host/file-system pair and
       can also contain the file number on the tape, the level of
       the  dump,  the  original size of the dump and the size of
       the (possibly compressed) file written to the  tape.   The
       ability  to  print  these labels is achieved by adding the
       lbl-templ field to the tapetype definition in amanda.conf.
       If  you  don't  add this line to your tapetype definition,
       then amreport will not print a tape label.

       You can also specify an alternate "printer" definition  to
       print  the label to other than the system default printer.

       Labels Provided

       The authors have provided label templates for the  follow-
       ing  tape  types.   These  are  pretty generic labels, and
       should be easy to customize for other tape  types.  Others
       are encouraged to do so.

                     * exabyte 8mm tapes
                     * dat 4mm tapes
                     * DLT tapes
                     * 8.5x11 3-ring binder

       The  8.5x11 3-ring binder type is the most generic. It can
       be used to make a hardcopy log of the tapes which  can  be
       kept in a 3-ring binder.

BUGS

       The  function of rotating logs probably should not be part
       of amreport since they are 2 different funtions and really
       have nothing to do with each other.
