DEFINING APPLICATIONS¶
An application is defined in amanda.conf(5) as follows:
define application-tool $appconfigname {and then referenced in a dumptype as
plugin "$pluginname"
property "$PROPERTY_NAME" "$PROPERTY_VALUE"
... }
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.
