AMTOC

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 DailySet1 ; logdir=`amgetconf DailySet1 logdir` ; log=`ls -1t $logdir/log.*.[0-9] | head -1` ; amtoc -a $log

which will generate /etc/amanda/DailySet1/tape_label.toc. You may also want to call amtoc after an amflush.
