# These are referred to by the disklist file. The dumptype specifies

-# Valid values are "bsd" and "krb4". Default: [auth bsd]
+# Valid values are "bsd", "krb4", "krb5" and "ssh".
+# Default: [auth bsd]
# comment - just a comment string
# comprate - set default compression rate. Should be followed by one or
# two numbers, optionally separated by a comma. The 1st is
# "client best" - compress on the client using the best (and
# probably slowest) algorithm.
# "client fast" - compress on the client using fast algorithm.
+# "client custom" - compress using your custom client compression program.
+# use client_custom_compress "PROG" to specify
+# the custom compression program.
+# PROG must not contain white space.
# "server best" - compress on the tape host using the best (and
# probably slowest) algorithm.
# "server fast" - compress on the tape host using a fast
# algorithm. This may be useful when a fast
# tape host is backing up slow clients.
+# "server custom" - compress using your server custom compression program.
+# use server_custom_compress "PROG" to specify
+# the custom compression program.
+# PROG must not contain white space.
# Default: [compress client fast]
# dumpcycle - set the number of days in the dump cycle, ie, set how often a
# full dump should be performed. Default: from DUMPCYCLE above
+# estimate Determine the way AMANDA does it's estimate.
+# "client" - Use the same program as the dumping program,
+# this is the most accurate way to do estimates,
+# but it can take a long time.
+# "calcsize" - Use a faster program to do estimates, but the
+# result is less accurate.
+# "server" - Use only statistics from the previous run to
+# give an estimate,
+# it takes only a few seconds but the result is not
+# accurate if your disk usage changes from day to day.
+# Default: [client]
+# encrypt - specify encryption of the backed up data. Valid values are:
+# "none" - don't encrypt the dump output.
+# "client" - encrypt on the client using the program specified by
+# client_encrypt "PROG".
+# Use client_decrypt_option to specify the decrypt-
+# parameter, default is "-d".
+# PROG and decrypt-parameter must not contain white space.
+# "server" - encrypt on the server using the program specified by
+# server_encrypt "PROG".
+# Use server_decrypt_option to specify the decrypt-
+# parameter, default is "-d".
+# PROG and decrypt-parameter must not contain white space.
+# Default: [none]
# exclude - specify files and directories to be excluded from the dump.
# Useful with gnutar only; silently ignored by dump and samba.
# Valid values are:
# going to be backed up.
# Default: include all files
# holdingdisk - should the holding disk be used for this dump. Useful for
-# dumping the holding disk itself. Default: [holdingdisk yes]
+# dumping the holding disk itself. Default: [holdingdisk auto]
+# "never" - Never use the holding disk.
+# "auto" - Use the holding disk if possible.
+# "required" - Always use the holding disk.
# ignore - do not back this filesystem up. Useful for sharing a single
# disklist in several configurations.
# index - keep an index of the files backed up. Default: [index no]
# mode", as many incrementals as will fit on the holding disk
# are done, higher priority first, to insure the important
# disks are at least dumped. Default: [priority medium]
-# program - specify the dump system to use. Valid values are "DUMP" and
-# "GNUTAR". Default: [program "DUMP"].
+# program - specify the dump system to use. Valid values are "DUMP",
+# or "GNUTAR". Default: [program "DUMP"].
# record - record the backup in the time-stamp-database of the backup
# program (e.g. /etc/dumpdates for DUMP or
# @GNUTAR_LISTED_INCREMENTAL_DIRX@ for GNUTAR.).
# prototype. Amanda then backs up just the
# changes.
# "noinc" - do level 0 dumps every time.
-# Unfortunately, this is not currently
-# implemented. Use `dumpcycle 0'
-# instead.
# "skip" - skip all dumps. Useful for sharing a single
# disklist in several configurations.
# "incronly" - do only incremental dumps. This is similar
# only be performed when an 'amadmin force'
# has been issued
# Default: [strategy standard]
+# tape_splitsize - (optional) split dump file into pieces of a specified size.
+# This allows dumps to be spread across multiple tapes, and can
+# potentially make more efficient use of tape space. Note that
+# if this value is too large (more than half the size of the
+# average dump being split), substantial tape space can be
+# wasted. If too small, large dumps will be split into
+# innumerable tiny dumpfiles, adding to restoration complexity.
+# A good rule of thumb, usually, is 1/10 of the size of your
+# tape. Default: [disabled]
+# split_diskbuffer - (optional) When dumping a split dump in PORT-WRITE
+# mode (usually meaning "no holding disk"), buffer the split
+# chunks to a file in the directory specified by this option.
+# Default: [none]
+# fallback_splitsize - (optional) When dumping a split dump in PORT-WRITE
+# mode, if no split_diskbuffer is specified (or if we somehow
+# fail to use our split_diskbuffer), we must buffer split
+# chunks in memory. This specifies the maximum size split
+# chunks can be in this scenario, and thus the maximum amount
+# of memory consumed for in-memory splitting. Default: [10m]
