It should not be run by users directly\&. It uses smbclient to backup and restore data\&. .PP The device name in the disklist must have the form \'//HOST/SHARE/SUBDIR\' where HOST is the CIFS host, SHARE is the share to connect and subdir is the subdirectory to backup\&. \'/subdir\' can be ommited, in which case the complete share is archived\&. The host in the disklist should be the name of an intermediate host that has smbclient installed, and is often the Amanda server itself\&. .PP Include or exclude can be used, but not both\&. The path for \'exclude list\' or \'include list\' must be absolute path on the client\&. The estimate calculates the complete size of the share, without regard for include or exclude directives\&. It will be larger than the actual dump if you use include or exclude\&. Using \'estimate server\' in the dumptype could give better estimate\&. .SH "PROPERTIES" .PP This section lists the properties that control amsamba\'s functionality\&. See \fBamanda-applications\fR(7) for information on application properties and how they are configured\&. .PP SMBCLIENT\-PATH .RS 4 The path to the smbclient binary\&. The default is set when \fIAmanda\fR is built\&. .RE .PP GNUTAR\-PATH .RS 4 The path to the gnutar binary\&. The default is set when \fIAmanda\fR is built\&. gnutar is use to create the index\&. .RE .PP AMANDAPASS .RS 4 Location of the amandapass file, The default is "/etc/amandapass"\&. The format of the file is as follow: .nf Sharename User%Password Domain .fi Sharename is \'//HOST/SHARE\' without the SUBDIR\&. Sharename can be quoted, it can be \'*\' to match all share, it can be \'//pc\-host/*\' to match all share on pc\-host\&. User is the username use to connect to the share\&. Password is the password use to connect to the share\&. Domain is optional\&. Example: .nf //another\-pc/share otheruser%otherpw domain .fi .RE .SH "SEE ALSO" .PP \fBamanda.conf\fR(5), \fBamanda-applications\fR(7) .SH "Author" .PP \fBJean\-Louis Martineau\fR <\&martineau@zmanda\&.com\&> .RS 4 Zmanda, Inc\&.
