# dumptypes # # These are referred to by the disklist file. The dumptype specifies # certain parameters for dumping including: # auth - authentication scheme to use between server and client. # Valid values are "bsd", "bsdudp", "bsdtcp", "krb5", "local", # "rsh" 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 # the full compression rate; the 2nd is the incremental rate. # If the second is omitted, it is assumed equal to the first. # The numbers represent the amount of the original file the # compressed file is expected to take up. # Default: [comprate 0.50, 0.50] # compress - specify compression of the backed up data. Valid values are: # "none" - don't compress the dump output. # "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 variable # 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: # "pattern" - a shell glob pattern defining which files # to exclude. # gnutar gets --exclude="pattern" # list "filename" - a file (on the client!) containing patterns # re's (1 per line) defining which files to # exclude. # gnutar gets --exclude-from="filename" # Note that the `full pathname' of a file within its # filesystem starts with `./', because of the way amanda runs # gnutar: `tar -C $mountpoint -cf - --lots-of-options .' (note # the final dot!) Thus, if you're backing up `/usr' with a # diskfile entry like ``host /usr gnutar-root', but you don't # want to backup /usr/tmp, your exclude list should contain # the pattern `./tmp', as this is relative to the `/usr' above. # Please refer to the man-page of gnutar for more information. # If a relative pathname is specified as the exclude list, # it is searched from within the directory that is # 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 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] # kencrypt - encrypt the data stream between the client and server. # Default: [kencrypt no] # maxdumps - max number of concurrent dumps to run on the client. # Default: [maxdumps 1] # maxpromoteday - max number of day for a promotion, set it 0 if you don't # want promotion, set it to 1 or 2 if your disk get # overpromoted. # Default: [10000] # priority - priority level of the dump. Valid levels are "low", "medium" # or "high". These are really only used when Amanda has no # tape to write to because of some error. In that "degraded # 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" # "STAR" and "GNUTAR". Default: [program "DUMP"]. # record - record the backup in the time-stamp-database of the backup # program (e.g. /etc/dumpdates for DUMP or # /var/lib/amanda/gnutar-lists for GNUTAR.). # Default: [record yes] # skip-full - skip the disk when a level 0 is due, to allow full backups # outside Amanda, eg when the machine is in single-user mode. # skip-incr - skip the disk when the level 0 is NOT due. This is used in # archive configurations, where only full dumps are done and # the tapes saved. # starttime - delay the start of the dump? Default: no delay # strategy - set the dump strategy. Valid strategies are currently: # "standard" - the standard one. # "nofull" - do level 1 dumps every time. This can be used, # for example, for small root filesystems that # only change slightly relative to a site-wide # prototype. Amanda then backs up just the # changes. # "noinc" - do level 0 dumps every time. # "skip" - skip all dumps. Useful for sharing a single # disklist in several configurations. # "incronly" - do only incremental dumps. This is similar # to strategy 'nofull', but will increase # the dump level as usual. Full dumps will # only be performed when an 'amadmin force' # has been issued # Default: [strategy standard] # # Note that you may specify previously defined dumptypes as a shorthand way # of defining parameters. #
