DESCRIPTION
After Amanda rpms are successfully installed, amserverconfig will setup
initial Amanda configuration files. It will create
/var/lib/amanda/guntar-lists directory if one does not exist.
amserverconfig does not change existing Amanda configurations.
amserverconfig must be run by user amandabackup.
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 amandabackup´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]

--changerfile changerfile
A tape changer configuration parameter. default

string is supported.
