amtoc - generate tape table of contents for an Amanda run

SYNOPSIS

       amtoc [ -c ] config [ -l label ] [ -h host ] [ -v ] [ -i ]
       [ -t ] [ -f ]

DESCRIPTION

       Amtoc generates a tape table  of  contents  (TOC)  for  an
       Amanda  run.  It's a perl script, you need to install perl
       first.

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

OPTIONS

       [ -c ] config
              Name of the configuration to process.

       -l label
              Label of the tape (default: last Amanda run).

       -h host
              Only  process  the  specified  host  (default:  all
              hosts).

       -v     Be verbose.  This output is not really a TOC, but a
              full dump of the database.  It may be restricted by
              the -l and -h options.

       -i     Add an informational text header to  the  beginning
              of  the  TOC  containing  a  reminder  about how to
              restore files.

       -t     Use tab  rather  than  spaces  between  the  output
              fields.

       -f     Write output to a file rather than standard output.
              The file is named:

                     logdir/label.toc,

              where  logdir  is  the  log  directory  defined  in
              amanda.conf,  and  label is the tape label (any '/'
              characters are converted to '_').

EXAMPLE

       Amtoc is normally run right after amflush or amdump.

              # amdump DailySet1
              # amtoc DailySet1 -f

BUGS

       Amtoc uses  the  Amanda  database,  which  only  maintains
       information  about  the  last  tape used at a given backup
       level.  Generating a TOC for the most recent run should be
       OK,  but  generating  one for an older run is usually only
       partially correct.
