DEFINING APPLICATIONS

36       An application is defined in amanda.conf(5) as follows:
37
38       define application-tool $appconfigname {
39          plugin "$pluginname"
40          property "$PROPERTY_NAME" "$PROPERTY_VALUE"
41          ...
42       }
43       and then referenced in a dumptype as
44
45       define dumptype $dumptypename {
46          ...
47          program "APPLICATION"
48          application "$appconfigname"
49       }
50
51       Application properties, like Amanda configuration parameters, are
52       insensitive to case, and - (dash) and _ (underscore) may be used
53       interchangeably.
