.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
After Amanda rpms are successfully installed,
\fBamserverconfig\fR
will setup initial Amanda configuration files\&. It will create /var/lib/amanda/guntar\-lists directory if one does not exist\&.
\fBamserverconfig\fR
does not change existing Amanda configurations\&.
\fBamserverconfig\fR
must be run by user amandabackup\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
Options may be abbreviated, as long as the abbreviation is not ambiguous\&. Option argument can either separated by \*(Aq=\*(Aq or a space\&. Example: \-\-templ=harddisk \-\-tapedev /dev/nst0
.PP
\fBamserverconfig\fR
builds a new "config" Amanda configuration\&. Customize the configuration with the options below\&.
.PP
\fB\-\-template template\fR
.RS 4
build Amanda configuration with pre\-configured template files\&. Currently,
\fBharddisk\fR,

.sp
If tape\-changer is chosen for this option, program mtx is required\&.
\fBamserverconfig\fR
will search for mtx in the following directory: "/usr/sbin", "/usr/local/sbin", "/usr/local/bin", "/usr/bin", "/bin" and amandabackup\*(Aqs PATH\&.

If harddisk is chosen and \-\-no\-vtape is not specified,
\fBamserverconfig\fR
will create and label virtual tape file://var/lib/amanda/vtapes/$config\&.
