amoverview — display file systems processed by Amanda over time
amoverview [[-config ] config ] [-hostwidth width] [-diskwidth width] [-skipmissed] [-last] [-num0] [-togo0] [-verbose]
Amoverview displays a chart showing hosts and file systems processed by Amanda along with the backup level performed each day.
See the amanda(8) man page for more details about Amanda.
-config configUse configuration config instead of configuration daily.
-hostwidth widthSet host field column width to width characters instead of 8.
-diskwidth widthSet disk field column width to width characters instead of 20.
-skipmissedCompacts the output by only printing stats for the days Amanda actually ran.
-lastOutputs the last status of each disk at the start. Useful for long tapecycles and/or sparse reports.
-num0Outputs the number of level 0 dumps for each disk.
-togo0Outputs the number of runs until the last level 0 dump is overwritten.
-verboseAmoverview can take a long while on large systems. This option reports intermediate steps while it is working.
amoverview is a summary of the output of " amadmin <config> find ". When the last column of amadmin find contains anything other than "OK", amoverview translates this into "E" for that day.
A number indicates the level of backup and it succeeded. An "E" indicates an error for that day. You get an "E" for all errors, like failed to connect, datatimeout, computer crashed, etc, but also for failing to write to tape.
You can have an "E" followed by a number if a filesystem ran into end-of-tape once (gives an "E", and later that day, you flush it to a second tape (a number: the level, indicating success). If the flush failed too, you get a double "EE" for that day.
You can also have a double code if you have two tapes in the changer and Amanda failed to write to tape the first time because it hit end of tape (resulting in "E0", for a full, "E1" for an incremental etc.) or twice with error ("EE"), and may a successful flush afterwards giving maybe "EE0". (Only the latest 2 characters are printed).

had a full backup on the 11th,
a level 1 on the 12th and a level 2 on the 13th.
