amgtar – Amanda Application to interface with GNU Tar Description Amgtar is an Amanda Application API script. It should not be run by users directly. It uses GNU Tar to backup and restore data. The diskdevice in the disklist (DLE) must be the directory to backup. Properties This section lists the properties that control amgtar’s…
amgpgcrypt – reference crypt program for Amanda public-key data encryption Synopsis amgpgcrypt to be called by Amanda only Description amgpgcrypt calls gpg to perform public-key data encryption on Amanda backup. amgpgcrypt will search for the gpg program in the following directories: /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin amgpgcrypt sets GNUPGHOME to $AMANDA_HOME/.gnupg where gpg will look for the gpg keys….
amgetconf – look up configuration parameters and manipulate debug logs Synopsis amgetconf [-l|–list] [–client] [–execute-where client|server] [-o configoption…] [config] parameter Description Amgetconf has three main jobs: to fetch configuration information from the Amanda configuration; to fetch build-time configuration values; and to open and close debug logs for shell scripts.
