Adds a global property for this client host, useful for e.g., Application API plugins. The first string is the property name, the following strings are the property values
The amanda.conf file may define multiple types of application. The information is entered in a application section, which looks like this:
define application "name" {
application-option application-value
...
}
name is the name of this type of application. It is referenced from the dumptype
The application options and values are:
Default: none. A comment string describing this application.
No default. Must be set to the name of the program. This program must be in the $libexecdir/amanda/application directory on the client.
No default. You can set property for the application, each application have a different set of property. Both strings are quoted; the first string contains the name of the property to set, and the others contains its values. append keyword append the values to the list of values for that property. priority keyword disallow the setting of that property on the server.
The amanda.conf file may define multiple types of script. The information is entered in a script section, which looks like this:

...
}
name is the name of this type of script. It is referenced from the dumptype
The script options and values are:
Default: none. A comment string describing this script.
No default. Must be set to the name of the program. This program must be in the $libdir/amanda/application directory on the client and/or server.
Default: client. Where the script must be executed, on the client or server. Only client is valid.
No default. When the script must be executed, you can specify many of them:
Execute before the amcheck command for the dle.
Execute before the amcheck command for all dle for the client.
Execute after the amcheck command for the dle.
Execute after the amcheck command for all dle for the client.
Execute before the estimate command for the dle.
Execute before the estimate command for all dle for the client.
Execute after the estimate command for the dle.
Execute after the estimate command for all dle for the client.
Execute before the backup command for the dle.
Execute before the backup command for all dle for the client.
Execute after the backup command for the dle.
Execute after the backup command for all dle for the client.
Execute before any level is recovered.
Execute after all levels are recovered.
Execute before each level recovery.
Execute after each level recovery.
Execute between two levels of recovery.
No default. You can set property for the script, each script have a different set of property.
