<refsect1><title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para><emphasis remap='B'>Amcheckdump</emphasis> verifies Amanda dump images by
reading them from storage volume(s) and verifying that the images can be parsed
by the appropriate application (if available). For example, a GNUTAR
image is passed to GNU Tar for parsing, and any errors
(e.g., corrupt or missing data) are noted.</para>
<para>The application runs on the most recent dump or, if <emphasis
remap='I'>--timestamp</emphasis> is specified, on the most recent dump with
that timestamp. Note that the verification is local to the Amanda server; if the
dump application is not available, or is configured differently on the server
than on the client, then the verification will most likely fail.</para>
<para>If a changer is available, it is used to load the required
tapes. Otherwise, the application interactively requests the tapes.</para>
<para>See the "<emphasis
remap='B'>CONFIGURATION OVERRIDE</emphasis>" section in
<manref name="amanda" vol="8"/>
