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-sendrecv(8), - use zfs to create a snapshot and use 'zfs send' to generate the backup.

       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.
