NAME¶
amstar - Amanda Application to interface with star
DESCRIPTION¶
Amstar is an Amanda Application API script. It should not be run by users directly. It uses star to backup and restore data.
PROPERTIES¶
This section lists the properties that control amstar´s functionality. See amanda-applications(7) for information on application properties and how they are configured.
ONE-FILE-SYSTEM
If "YES" (the default), do not allow star to cross filesystem boundaries. If "NO", star will cross filesystem boundaries. This corresponds to the -xdev option of star.
SPARSE
If "YES" (the default), star will store sparse files efficiently. If "NO", then the -sparse option is not given to star, and it will not try to detect sparse files.
STAR-DLE-TARDUMP
If "YES", amstar will use a different tardump file for each DLE. The default is "NO". This property is needed with older versions of star doing many dumps in parallel, because of a race condition in updating the tardump file.
STAR-PATH
The path to the star binary. The default is set when Amanda is built.
STAR-TARDUMP
The directory where star stores the database it uses to generate incremental dumps. The default is set when Amanda is built.
