amdump
Langue: en
Version: 10/04/2010 (fedora - 01/12/10)
Section: 8 (Commandes administrateur)
Synopsis
- amdump config [host [disk...]...] [{-o configoption}...]
DESCRIPTION
Amdump
- switches to the appropriate Amanda configuration directory, e.g. /usr/local/etc/amanda/config, then attempts to back up every disk specified by the amanda.conf file. Amdump is normally run by cron.
You can specify many host/disk expressions, only disks that match an expression will be dumped. All disks are dumped if no expressions are given.
If the file /usr/local/etc/amanda/config/hold exists, amdump will wait until it is removed before starting the backups. This allows scheduled backups to be delayed when circumstances warrant, for example, if the tape device is being used for some other purpose. While waiting, amdump checks for the hold file every minute.
See the amanda(8) man page for more details about Amanda.
OPTIONS
host [disk]*
- Specify the host and disk on which the command will work.
-o configoption
