NAME

amtoc - generate TOC (Table Of Contents) for an Amanda run

SYNOPSIS

amtoc [-a] [-i] [-t] [-f file] [-s subs] [-w] [--] logfile

DESCRIPTION

Amtoc

generates a table of contents for an Amanda run. It's a perl script (if you don't have perl, install it first!).

OPTIONS

-a
The output file name will be label-of-the-tape.toc in the same directory as logfile.
-i
Display help about amtoc.
-t
Generate the output in tabular form.
-f file
Write the output to a file ('-' for stdout).
-s subs
Evaluate the output file name from subs, with $_ set to label-of-the-tape. The -a option is equivalent to -s's/$_/.toc/'.
-w
Separate tapes with form-feeds and display blank lines before totals.
--
Marks the last option so the next parameter is the logfile.
logfile
(use '-' for stdin)

OUTPUT FORMAT

The standard output has five fields separated by two spaces:

 
 #  Server:/partition  date  level  size[Kb]
 0  daily-05:  19991005  -  -
 1  cuisun15:/cuisun15/home  19991005  1  96
 2  cuinfs:/export/dentiste  19991005  1  96
   ...
 103  cuisg11:/  19991005  0  4139136
 103  total:  -  -  16716288
 
 
 
 

In tabular format (-t), this would look like:

 
   #  Server:/partition           date      lev  size[Kb]
   0  daily-05:                   19991005    -         -
   1  cuisun15:/cuisun15/home     19991005    1        96
   2  cuinfs:/export/dentiste     19991005    1        96
   ...
 103  cuisg11:/                   19991005    0   4139136
 103  total:                      -           -  16716288
 
 
 

USAGE

The easiest way to use it is to run amtoc right after amdump in the cron job:

 
 amdump daily ; logdir=`amgetconf daily logdir` ; log=`ls -1t $logdir/log.*.[0-9] | head -1` ; amtoc -a $log
 
 

which will generate /usr/local/etc/amanda//daily/tape_label.toc. You may also want to call amtoc after an amflush.
