Disregarding the 'all three amdumps at once' comment, the command 'amstatus <CONFIG>' will tell you what amanda is currently doing if it's running, or the last time it ran. You can also specify the amdump log file to use with '--file <amdump-logfile>'. 'man amstatus' will tell you all the details. > * How do I know the backups are running and have not silently failed? Define the variable 'malto' in amanda.conf file to a valid email address. If you have an healthy mail setup, amanda will send you a report (man amreport) after amdump or amflush finishes running, as by default 'send-amreport-on' is 'on' by default. > * How do I know when they complete? > * How do I know what has been accomplished? man amstatus, man amreport will help you. cheers, jf > * : > > These are all the sort of questions that might be answered by some sort of > dashboard, but I haven't heard of any such thing, nor do I expect to hear of > any such thing, but I am also equally sure that all the answers exist.
