6 amsuntar - Amanda Application to interface with native tar utility
7 available on solaris platforms
8
10 Amsuntar is an Amanda Application API script. It should not be run by
11 users directly. It uses Solaris bundled tar utility to backup and
12 restore data. Currenty ACLs from ZFS file system can only be backed up
13 using the solaris supplied tar utility.
14 Solaris 10 supports Role Based Access Control(RBAC) which is enabled by
16 default. To run backup operations using sun tar utility by under
17 privileged user like amandabackup, amandabackup user need to have
18 proper roles and profiles, specially "Media Backup" profile/role. This
19 can be done using ´usermod -P "Media Backup" amandabackup´ command.
