NAME

6       amsuntar - Amanda Application to interface with native tar utility
7       available on solaris platforms
8

DESCRIPTION

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
15       The diskdevice in the disklist (DLE) must be the directory to backup.
16
17       Solaris 10 supports Role Based Access Control(RBAC) which is enabled by
18       default. To run backup operations using sun tar utility by under
19       privileged user like amandabackup, amandabackup user need to have
20       proper roles and profiles, specially "Media Backup" profile/role. This
21       can be done using 'usermod -P "Media Backup" amandabackup' command.
22

PROPERTIES

24       This section lists the properties that control amsuntar's
25       functionality. See amanda-applications(7) for information on
26       application properties and how they are configured.
27
28       BLOCK-SIZE
29
30           Optional tar read or write block size.  The default is 256.
31
32       DIRECTORY
33
34           If set, suntar will backup from that directory instead of the
35           diskdevice set by the DLE. On restore, the data is restore in that
36           directory instead of the current working directory.
37
38       EXTENDED-ATTRIBUTES
39
40           Include extended attributes in archive.  The default is YES.
41
42       EXTENDED-HEADERS
43
44           Write tar file with extended headers. With this optiion the
45           modification time is maintained with a  granularity of
46           microseconds,Long file names and file sizes greater than 8GB can be
47           archived. The default is YES.
48
49       SUNTAR-PATH
50
51           The path to the suntar binary. The default is set when Amanda is
52           built.
53
54       LANG
55
56           Default LANG is "C". suntar require an UTF-8 LANG if you have UTF-8
57           filename and it is configured for extended headers. A good value
58           can be "en_US.UTF-8" if that locale is installed on your machine.
59
60       NORMAL
61           List all regex (Perl Regular Expression syntax) that are normal
62           output from sun tar. These output are in the "FAILED DUMP DETAILS"
63           section of the email report if the dump result is STRANGE or
64           FAILED. Default values:
65
66           is not a file. Not dumped\$
67           same as archive file\$
68

70           explicitly in a different property.
71
72       IGNORE
73           List all regex (Perl Regular Expression syntax) that amanda ignore.
74           These output are never in the email report.

80           DETAILS" section of the email report. Default values:
81
82           : invalid character in UTF-8 conversion of
83           : UTF-8 conversion failed.\$

91           normal, ignore or strange regex are error by default. The result of
92           the dump is FAILED if sun tar produce an error output. These output
