NAMEamgtar − Amanda Application to interface with GNU Tar

DESCRIPTIONAmgtar is an Amanda Application API script​. It should not be run by users directly​. It uses GNU Tar to backup and restore data​.

PROPERTIESThis section lists the properties that control amgtar´s functionality​. See amanda-applications(7) for information on application properties and how they are configured​. ATIME−PRESERVE If "YES" (the default), amgtar use the −−atime−preserve=system option of gnutar to not update the atime of all files accessed; if "NO", gnutar will updates the atime for all files accessed​. This property works only if you have gnutar 1​.15​.90 or newer, if not, you must set ATIME_PRESERVE to "NO"​. CHECK−DEVICE If "YES" (the default), amgtar checks that the device number doesn´t change for each file​. If "NO", changes in device number are ignored​. To ignore device numbers, tar must support the −−no−check−device option (gnutar 1​.19​.90 and newer)​. This option is needed for some filesystems and devices on which device numbers change frequently, such as LVM or FiberChannel​. DIRECTORY If set, gnutar will backup from that directory instead of the diskdevice set by the DLE​. GNUTAR−LISTDIR The directory where gnutar stores the database it uses to generate incremental dumps​. The default is set when Amanda is built​. GNUTAR−PATH The path to the gnutar binary​. The default is set when Amanda is built​. ONE−FILE−SYSTEM If "YES" (the default), do not allow gnutar to cross filesystem boundaries​. If "NO", gnutar will cross filesystem boundaries​. This corresponds to the −−one−filesystem option of gnutar​. TAR−BLOCKSIZE Block size of Nx512 bytes (default N=20)​. This corresponds to the −−blocking−factor option of gnutar​. SPARSE If "YES" (the default), gnutar will store sparse files efficiently​. If "NO", then the −−sparse option is not given to gnutar, and it will not try to detect sparse files​. EXIT−HANDLING List which exit status of gtar are good or bad​. eg​. "1=GOOD 2=BAD", exit status of 1 will produce a good backup, exit status of 2 will give an error​. NORMAL List all regex (POSIX Extended Regular Expression syntax) that are normal output from gtar​. These output are in the "FAILED DUMP DETAILS" section of the email report if the dump result is STRANGE or FAILED​. Default values: "^could not open conf file" "^Elapsed time:" "^Throughput" ": socket ignored$" ": File ​.* shrunk by [0−9][0−9]* bytes, padding with zeros" ": Cannot add file ​.*: No such file or directory$" ": Error exit delayed from previous errors"To treat one of these default patterns differently, specify it explicitly in a different property​. IGNORE List all regex (POSIX Extended Regular Expression syntax) that amanda ignore​. These output are never in the email report​. Default values: ": Directory is new$" ": Directory has been renamed"To treat one of these default patterns differently, specify it explicitly in a different property​. STRANGE List all regex (POSIX Extended Regular Expression syntax) that are strange output from gtar​. All gtar output that doesn´t match a normal or ignore regex are strange by default​. The result of the dump is STRANGE if gtar produce a strange output​. These output are in the "FAILED DUMP DETAILS" section of the email report​.

EXAMPLE define application−tool app_amgtar { property "ATIME−PRESERVE" "NO" property "CHECK−DEVICE" "YES" property "GNUTAR−LISTDIR" " property "GNUTAR−PATH" "/bin/tar" property "ONE−FILE−SYSTEM" "YES" property "TAR_BLOCKSIZE" "20" property "SPARSE" "YES" property "EXIT−HANDLING" "1=GOOD 2=BAD" # change a default NORMAL regex to a STRANGE regex​. property "STRANGE" ": socket ignored$" # add three new IGNORE regex property "IGNORE" ": Directory is new$" property append "IGNORE" ": Directory has been renamed" property append "IGNORE" "file changed as we read it$" }
