AMCHECKDUMP(8)		 System Administration Commands 	  AMCHECKDUMP(8)

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  vol-
     ume(s)  and  verifying that the images can be parsed by the appropriate ap-
     plication (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 speci-
     fied, on the most recent dump with that timestamp. Note that the  verifica-
     tion  is  local to the Amanda server; if the dump application is not avail-
     able, 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. Other-
     wise, 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
