It's the +diskname +that you use on the commandline for any &A; command. +Look at the example/disklist file for example. + + + + diskdevice + +Default: same as diskname. +The name of the disk device to be backed up. It may be a full device name, +a device name without the +/dev/ +prefix, e.g. +sd0a, +or a mount point such as +/usr. + +It may also refer to a PC share by starting the name with two (forward) slashes, e.g. +//some-pc/home. +In this case, the +program +option in the associated +dumptype +must be entered as +GNUTAR. +It is the combination of the double slash disk name and +program GNUTAR +in the +dumptype +that triggers the use of Samba. + + + + + dumptype + +Refers to a +dumptype +defined in the +amanda.conf +file. +Dumptypes +specify backup related parameters, +such as whether to compress the backups, +whether to record backup results in +/etc/dumpdates, the disk's relative priority, etc. + + + + spindle + +Default: +. +A number used to balance backup load on a host. +&A; will not run multiple backups at the same time +on the same spindle, unless the spindle number is -1, +which means there is no spindle restriction. + + + + interface + +Default: +local. +The name of a network interface definition in the +amanda.conf +file, used to balance network load. + + + + +Instead of naming a +dumptype, +it is possible to define one in-line, enclosing +dumptype +options within curly braces, one per line, just like a +dumptype +definition in +amanda.conf. +Since pre-existing +dumptypes +are valid option names, this syntax may be used to customize +dumptypes +for particular disks. + +A line break +must +follow the left curly bracket. + +For instance, if a +dumptype +named +normal +is used for most disks, but use of the holding disk needs to be disabled +for the file system that holds it, this would work instead of defining +a new dumptype: + + +hostname diskname [ diskdevice ] { + normal + holdingdisk never +} [ spindle [ interface ] ] + + + + +
