NAME

6       amstar - Amanda Application to interface with star
7

DESCRIPTION

9       Amstar is an Amanda Application API script. It should not be run by
10       users directly. It uses star to backup and restore data.
11

PROPERTIES

13       This section lists the properties that control amstar´s functionality.
14       See amanda-applications(7) for information on application properties
15       and how they are configured.
16
17       ONE-FILE-SYSTEM
18
19           If "YES" (the default), do not allow star to cross filesystem
20           boundaries. If "NO", star will cross filesystem boundaries.  This
21           corresponds to the -xdev option of star.
22
23       SPARSE
24
25           If "YES" (the default), star will store sparse files efficiently.
26           If "NO", then the -sparse option is not given to star, and it will
27           not try to detect sparse files.
28
29       STAR-DLE-TARDUMP
30
31           If "YES", amstar will use a different tardump file for each DLE.
32           The default is "NO".  This property is needed with older versions
33           of star doing many dumps in parallel, because of a race condition
34           in updating the tardump file.
35
36       STAR-PATH
37
38           The path to the star binary.  The default is set when Amanda is
39           built.
40
41       STAR-TARDUMP
42
43           The directory where star stores the database it uses to generate
44           incremental dumps.  The default is set when Amanda is built.
