DESCRIPTION
Describe how to use application with Amanda
APPLICATIONS
This section lists the applications included with Amanda. See the individual man pages for instructions on using them. For complete How-To
information, consult the Amanda wiki at http://wiki.zmanda.com.
o amgtar(8), - use GNU Tar to backup and restore data.
o ampgsql(8), - use PostgreSQL's continuous WAL archiving.
o amraw(8), - use open and read to read the data.
o amsamba(8), - use smbclient to backup and restore data.
o amstar(8), - use star to backup and restore data.
o amsuntar(8), - use native tar on Solaris to backup and restore data.

o amzfs-snapshot(8), - use zfs to create a snapshot and for use with other applications (e.g. amgtar)
DEFINING APPLICATIONS
An application is defined in amanda.conf(5) as follows:
define application-tool $appconfigname {
plugin "$pluginname"
property "$PROPERTY_NAME" "$PROPERTY_VALUE"
...
}
and then referenced in a dumptype as
define dumptype $dumptypename {
...
program "APPLICATION"
application "$appconfigname"
}
Application properties, like Amanda configuration parameters, are insensitive to case, and - (dash) and _ (underscore) may be used
interchangeably.
See the individual plugin documentation for properties applicable to each plugin.
