NAME

6       amsamba - Amanda Application to interface with smbclient
7

DESCRIPTION

9       Amsamba is an Amanda Application API script. It should not be run by
10       users directly. It uses smbclient to backup and restore data.
11
12       The device name in the disklist must have the form
13       ´//HOST/SHARE/SUBDIR´ where HOST is the CIFS host, SHARE is the share
14       to connect and subdir is the subdirectory to backup. ´/subdir´ can be
15       ommited, in which case the complete share is archived. The host in the
16       disklist should be the name of an intermediate host that has smbclient
17       installed, and is often the Amanda server itself.
18
19       Include or exclude can be used, but not both. The path for ´exclude
20       list´ or ´include list´ must be absolute path on the client. The
21       estimate calculates the complete size of the share, without regard for
22       include or exclude directives. It will be larger than the actual dump
23       if you use include or exclude. Using ´estimate server´ in the dumptype
24       could give better estimate.
