22 amstar \- Amanda Application to interface with star
27 Application API script\&. It should not be run by users directly\&. It uses star to backup and restore data\&.
30 This section lists the properties that control amstar\'s functionality\&. See
31 \fBamanda-applications\fR(7)
32 for information on application properties and how they are configured\&.
37 If "YES" (the default), do not allow star to cross filesystem boundaries\&. If "NO", star will cross filesystem boundaries\&. This corresponds to the \fI\-xdev\fR option of star\&.
43 If "YES" (the default), star will store sparse files efficiently\&. If "NO", then the \fI\-sparse\fR option is not given to star, and it will not try to detect sparse files\&.
49 If "YES", amstar will use a different tardump file for each DLE\&. The default is "NO"\&. This property is needed with older versions of star doing many dumps in parallel, because of a race condition in updating the tardump file\&.
55 The path to the star binary\&. The default is set when \fIAmanda\fR is built\&.
61 The directory where star stores the database it uses to generate incremental dumps\&. The default is set when \fIAmanda\fR is built\&.
