AMVERIFY(8)					      AMVERIFY(8)

NAME
       amverify - check an Amanda tape for errors

SYNOPSIS
       amverify config [ slot ]

DESCRIPTION
       Amverify	 reads	an Amanda format tape and makes sure each
       backup image can be processed by amrestore and, if  possi
       ble, the appropriate restore program (e.g. tar).

       Amverify runs amrestore on each file of the tape and pipes
       the output to a restore program	(if  available)	 with  an
       option to create a catalogue of the backup.  The catalogue
       itself is discarded.  Only the success or failure  of  the
       operation itself is reported.

       If  the	backup	image  cannot be processed by the restore
       program, e.g. if it was written on a  different	operating
       system,	the  image is sent through dd to /dev/null.  This
       still determines if the tape is readable, but does not  do
       any internal consistency check on the image.

       If  config is set up to use a tape changer, the slot argu
       ment may be used to choose  the	first  tape  to	 process.
       Otherwise, the current slot is used.

       The  runtapes  configuration parameter determines how many
       tapes are processed.

       See the amanda(8) man page for more details about  Amanda.
