Amanda 3.5.4                                       01/25/2025                                  AMSERVERCONFIG(8)

       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 backup.

/var/lib/amanda/template.d
           Amanda configuration template files install location

       /var/lib/amanda
           backup home directory

       /var/lib/amanda/gnutar-lists
           A directory which contains backup timestamp and list of files backed up.

       /etc/amanda/$config
           Amanda configuration files location for $config(e.g: DailySet1).

       /etc/amanda/template.d
           A directory contains dumptypes and tapetypes files used by all Amanda configurations.

       /etc/amandates
           Amanda file on the client. It keeps track of structures of previous dumps.

       /tmp/amanda
           directory contains Amanda debug log files.

       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.

       --templatetemplate
           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.

       --tapedevtapedev
           The path name of non-rewinding tape device. default [file://var/lib/amanda/vtapes/$config]

       --tpchangertpchanger
           The name of the tape changer. default [chg-disk]

       --changerdevchangerdev
           A tape changer configuration parameter. default [/dev/null]

       --changerfilechangerfile
           A tape changer configuration parameter. default [/etc/amanda/$config/changer.conf]

       --labelstrlabelstr
           The tape label constraint regular expression. default [^$config-[0-9][0-9]*$]

           If this option is used with --template=harddisk, only alphanumeric string is supported.

       --tapetypetapetype
           The type of tape drive associated with tapedev or tpchanger. default [HARDDISK]

       --mailtomailto
           A space separated list of recipients for mail reports. default [backup]

       --dumpcycledumpcycle
           The number of days in the backup cycle. default [1week]

       --runspercyclerunspercycle
           The number of days in the backup cycle. default [5]

       --runtapesruntapes
           The maximum number of tapes used in a single run. default [1]

       --tapecycletapecycle
           The size of tape rotation. default [25]

       --help
