37 This section lists the scripts included with Amanda, see the individual man page for instructions on using them\&. For complete How\-To information, consult the Amanda wiki at http://wiki\&.zmanda\&.com\&.

70 A pre\-dle\-amcheck, pre\-dle\-estimate or pre\-dle\-backup executed on the client can output property on stdout that are sent to the application\&. If the output line matches "PROPERTY str1 str2", Amanda sets a property called "str1" by the value of "str2", that property is sent to the application\&.
