NAME

6       amanda-scripts - Configuring and using the Script API
7

DESCRIPTION

9       The Script API is a flexible system for invoking user-supplied scripts
10       at various points in the execution of Amanda. This manual page
11       describes the operation and configuration of the API. For help writing
12       Script API scripts, see http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Script_API.

SCRIPTS

15       This section lists the scripts included with Amanda, see the individual
16       man page for instructions on using them. For complete How-To
17       information, consult the Amanda wiki at http://wiki.zmanda.com.
18
19       ·   amzfs-snapshot(8), - create/destroy zfs snapshot.
20
21       ·   script-email(8), - send email.
22
23       Script properties work just like application properties: they are
24       insensitive to case, and - (dash) and _ (underscore) may be used
25       interchangeably.
26

SCRIPTS OUTPUT PROPERTY

28       A pre-dle-amcheck, pre-dle-estimate or pre-dle-backup executed on the
29       client can output property on stdout that are sent to the application.
30       If the output line matches "PROPERTY str1 str2", Amanda sets a property
31       called "str1" by the value of "str2", that property is sent to the
32       application.
33

SCRIPTS FAILURE (TO ABORT A BACKUP)

35       A pre-host-estimate, pre-dle-estimate or pre-dle-backup executed on the
36       client can abort a backup by writing an error message (single line) to
37       STDERR and exit with != 0.
38
39       A post-dle-backup executed on the client can make a backup a failure by
40       writing an error message (single line) to STDERR and exit with != 0.
