NAME

       amraw - Amanda Application open and read data

DESCRIPTION

       Amraw is an Amanda Application API script. It should not be run by users directly. It uses dd to backup and restore data.

       Amraw can backup only one directory entry, it can be a single file, a raw device, anything that amanda can open and read.

       The diskdevice in the disklist (DLE) must be the filename amraw open and read.

       Restore is done in place, an open is done and the data is written to it. A file owned by root and permission 0600 is create if the
       directory entry doesn't exist before the restore.

       Only full backup is allowed

       DIRECTORY

DESCRIPTION

       Describe how to use application with Amanda

APPLICATIONS

       This section lists the applications included with Amanda. See the individual man pages for instructions on using them. For complete How-To
       information, consult the Amanda wiki at http://wiki.zmanda.com.

       o   amgtar(8), - use GNU Tar to backup and restore data.

       o   ampgsql(8), - use PostgreSQL's continuous WAL archiving.

       o   amraw(8), - use open and read to read the data.

       o   amsamba(8), - use smbclient to backup and restore data.

       o   amstar(8), - use star to backup and restore data.

       o   amsuntar(8), - use native tar on Solaris to backup and restore data.

       o   amzfs-sendrecv(8), - use zfs to create a snapshot and use 'zfs send' to generate the backup.

       o   amzfs-snapshot(8), - use zfs to create a snapshot and for use with other applications (e.g. amgtar)

DEFINING APPLICATIONS

       An application is defined in amanda.conf(5) as follows:

       define application-tool $appconfigname {
	  plugin "$pluginname"
	  property "$PROPERTY_NAME" "$PROPERTY_VALUE"
	  ...
       }
       and then referenced in a dumptype as

       define dumptype $dumptypename {
	  ...
	  program "APPLICATION"
	  application "$appconfigname"
       }

       Application properties, like Amanda configuration parameters, are insensitive to case, and - (dash) and _ (underscore) may be used
       interchangeably.

       See the individual plugin documentation for properties applicable to each plugin.
