NAMEamflush − flush Amanda backup files from holding disk to tape
SYNOPSISamflush [−b] [−f] [−−exact−match] [−s] [−D datestamp] [−o configoption...] config [host [disk...]...]
DESCRIPTIONAmflush writes Amanda backups from the holding disks to tape, and updates the Amanda info database and tapelist(5) accordingly​. It is similar to amdump, but does not perform any backup operations on Amanda clients​. Backups may stay in a holding disk when something is wrong with the tape at the time amdump is run​. When this happens, the problem must be corrected and amflush run by hand​. The command optionally takes a set of DLE specifications (see amanda-match(7)) to narrow the DLEs for which dumps will be flushed​. All dumps in holding are flushed if no expressions are given​.
OPTIONS−b Run amflush in batch mode​. All datestamps are selected unless specified​. The flush is started without confirmation​. −f Run amflush in foreground​. Amflush normally detaches itself from the tty and runs as a background process​. With the −f option, amflush stays in the foreground​. This is useful if amflush is run as part of another script that, for example, advances the tape after the flush is completed​. −s Write log to stdout/stderr instead of the amflush log file​. Requires the −f option​. −D datestamp specify a datestamp expression you want to flush; see amanda-match(7) for details on the format of this expression​. −D 20001225−7 will flush all dumps from 25 december 2000 to 27 december 2000​. −−exact−match The host and disk are parsed as exact values host [disk]* Specify the host and disk on which the command will work −− see the description of DLE specifications in amanda-match(7)​. −o configoption See the "CONFIGURATION OVERRIDE" section in amanda(8)​. You can specify many host/disk expressions, only disks that match an expression will be flushed​. All disks are flushed if no expressions are given​. see the "HOST & DISK EXPRESSION" section of amanda(8) for a description​. Amflush will look in the holding disks specified by the amanda​.conf file in /usr/local/etc/amanda/config for any non−empty Amanda work directories​. It then prompts you to select a directory or to process all of the directories​. The work directories in the holding disks are named by the date at the time amdump was run, e​.g​. 19910215​. See the amanda(8) man page for more details about Amanda​.
EXAMPLEAmflush will search for holding areas associated with the daily configuration​. After you select which holding area to flush, amflush writes the data to tape, updates the databases and sends a mail report similar to amdump(8)​. % amflush MyConfig Scanning /amanda−hold​.​.​. 20001113: found Amanda directory​. 20001114: found Amanda directory​. Multiple Amanda directories, please pick one by letter: A​. 20001113 B​. 20001114 Select directories to flush [A​.​.B]: [ALL] all Flushing dumps in 20001113, 20001114, today: 20001117 to tape drive /dev/rmt/0mn​. Expecting tape DMP014 or a new tape​. (The last dumps were to tape DMP013) Are you sure you want to do this? yes Running in background, you can log off now​. You'll get mail when amflush is finished​.The following example causes amflush to flush everything to tape, then ejects tape, using 'at' to run the task in the background​. % echo 'amflush −b −f MyConfig && mt offline' | at now
EXIT CODEThe exit code of amflush is the ORed value of: 0 = success 1 = error 4 = a dle failed 8 = Don't know the status of a dle (RESULT_MISSING in the report) 16 = tape error or no more tape
