amanda-applications — Application-api for amanda
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.
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.
