6 amstar - Amanda Application to interface with star
7
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
13 This section lists the properties that control amstarĀ“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.
