AMLABEL(8)

NAME
amlabel - labels an Amanda tape

SYNOPSIS
amlabel config label

DESCRIPTION
Amlabel writes an Amanda label on the tape in the tape drive specified by the amanda.conf file in /usr/local/etc/amanda/config. The label can be any string that does not contain whitespace, and that matches the amanda.conf labelstr regular expression parameter. It is up to the system administrators to define a naming convention. See the amanda(8) man page for more details about Amanda.

EXAMPLE

% amlabel DailySet1 VOL1
    If the line "tapedev /dev/tape/1n" is in /usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/amanda.conf, an Amanda label with the name "VOL1" is written on the /dev/tape/1n device.
