22 amsamba \- Amanda Application to interface with smbclient
27 Application API script\&. It should not be run by users directly\&. It uses smbclient to backup and restore data\&.
29 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\&.
31 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\&.
34 This section lists the properties that control amsamba\'s functionality\&. See
35 \fBamanda-applications\fR(7)
36 for information on application properties and how they are configured\&.
41 The path to the smbclient binary\&. The default is set when \fIAmanda\fR is built\&.
47 The path to the gnutar binary\&. The default is set when \fIAmanda\fR is built\&. gnutar
48 is use to create the index\&.
54 Location of the amandapass file, The default is "/etc/amandapass"\&.
55 The format of the file is as follow:
57 Sharename User%Password Domain
60 Sharename is \'//HOST/SHARE\' without the SUBDIR\&.
61 Sharename can be quoted,
62 it can be \'*\' to match all share,
63 it can be \'//pc\-host/*\' to match all share on pc\-host\&.
64 User is the username use to connect to the share\&.
65 Password is the password use to connect to the share\&.
66 Domain is optional\&. Example:
68 //another\-pc/share otheruser%otherpw domain
