NAME
       amcheckdump - check the results of an Amanda dump

SYNOPSIS

       amcheckdump [--timestamp|-t timestamp] [--verbose] [-o configoption...]
		   config

DESCRIPTION
       Amcheckdump verifies Amanda dump	images by reading them from storage
       volume(s) and verifying that the	images can be parsed by	the
       appropriate application (if available). For example, a GNUTAR image is
       passed to GNU Tar for parsing, and any errors (e.g., corrupt or missing
       data) are noted.

       The application runs on the most	recent dump or,	if --timestamp is
       specified, on the most recent dump with that timestamp. Note that the
       verification is local to	the Amanda server; if the dump application is
       not available, or is configured differently on the server than on the
       client, then the	verification will most likely fail.

       If a changer is available, it is	used to	load the required tapes.
       Otherwise, the application interactively	requests the tapes.

       See the "CONFIGURATION OVERRIDE"	section	in amanda(8) for information
       on the -o option.

EXAMPLE
       # check the most	recent dump
       amcheckdump MYCONFIG

       # check a specific dump from back in '78
       amcheckdump MYCONFIG --timestamp	19780615
