Yes. All you have to do is remove the "log" file that it leaves behind
in your "logdir" (set in amanda.conf) afterward. If you forget to do
that, the next amdump run will think another run is already in progress
and refuse to work.
You must run planner as the Amanda user. It must be setuid-root (in
case you were going to run it from the build area). Stderr will have
the stuff you see in the amdump.NN files. Stdout will have the schedule
that would normally be piped to driver.
Note that estimates are based on what the client thinks has been backed
up, so running planner twice in a row without changing anything else
probably won't show any differences.
