amlabel-cdrw(8)

amlabel-cdrw8

A hacked-up replacement for amlabel to label cd-rws intended for use with cdrw-taper

Usage

amlabel-cdrw [-f] [--no-tapelist-entry] [conf] [label]

Overview

This manual page documents briefly the amlabel-cdrw command.

This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

All AMANDA tapes must be pre-labeled before they are used. AMANDA verifies the label in amdump and amflush before writing to make sure the proper tape is loaded.

amlabel-cdrw is a replacement for amlabel to label CD-RWs intended for use with cdrw-taper.
