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


SYNOPSIS

       amreport [ config ] [ -l logfile ] [ -f outputfile ] [  -p
       postscriptfile ]


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.

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


OPTIONS

       config Name of the configuration to process.

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

                     logdir/log

              where  logdir  is  the  log  directory  defined  in
              amanda.conf.

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

       -p postscriptfile
              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.


LABEL PRINTING

       Amanda can print postscript labels describing the contents
       of tape(s) written in a run.  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 are provided to format data for different
       tape sizes.

       The information printed varies slightly between label tem­
       plates  due  to size constraints.  Labels contain one line
       for each host/file-system pair and may  also  contain  the
       file number on the tape, the level of the dump, the origi­
       nal size of the dump and the size of  the  (possibly  com­
       pressed) tape file.

       amanda.conf to enable labels.  If you don't add this  line
       to  your tapetype definition, amreport will not print tape
       labels.

       You may use the printer keyword in amanda.conf to print to
       other than the system default printer.


TEMPLATES

       Amanda  provides  label  templates  for the following tape
       types.  These are pretty generic labels and should be easy
       to  customize  for  other  tape  types  or particular site
       needs.

                     * ExaByte 8mm tapes
                     * DAT 4mm tapes
                     * DLT tapes
                     * 3-ring binder

       The 3-ring binder type is the most  generic.   It  may  be
       used to make a hardcopy log of the tapes.
