AMSTAR(8) System Administration Commands AMSTAR(8)NAMEamstar - Amanda Application to interface with star
DESCRIPTION
Amstar is an Amanda Application API script. It should not be run by
users directly. It uses star to backup and restore data.
PROPERTIES
This section lists the properties that control amstarĀ“s functionality.
See amanda-applications(7) for information on application properties
and how they are configured.
ONE-FILE-SYSTEM
If "YES" (the default), do not allow star to cross filesystem
boundaries. If "NO", star will cross filesystem boundaries. This
corresponds to the -xdev option of star.
SPARSE
If "YES" (the default), star will store sparse files efficiently.
If "NO", then the -sparse option is not given to star, and it will
not try to detect sparse files.
STAR-DLE-TARDUMP
If "YES", amstar will use a different tardump file for each DLE.
The default is "NO". This property is needed with older versions
of star doing many dumps in parallel, because of a race condition
in updating the tardump file.
STAR-PATH
The path to the star binary. The default is set when Amanda is
built.
STAR-TARDUMP
The directory where star stores the database it uses to generate
incremental dumps. The default is set when Amanda is built.
