DESCRIPTION
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 template
-
build 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/$config.
--no-vtape
- Do not create virtual tapes in the harddisk template case.
--tapedev tapedev
- The path name of non-rewinding tape device. default [file://var/lib/amanda/vtapes/$config]
--tpchanger tpchanger
- The name of the tape changer. default [chg-disk]
--changerdev changerdev
- A tape changer configuration parameter. default [/dev/null]
--changerfile changerfile
- A tape changer configuration parameter. default [/etc/amanda/$config/changer.conf]
--labelstr labelstr

If this option is used with --template=harddisk, only alphanumeric string is supported.
--tapetype tapetype
- The type of tape drive associated with tapedev or tpchanger. default [HARDDISK]
--mailto mailto
