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

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.
