NAME
       amstar - 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.
