.SH "NAME"
amstar \- Amanda Application to interface with star
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Amstar is an
\fIAmanda\fR
Application API script\&. It should not be run by users directly\&. It uses star to backup and restore data\&.
.SH "PROPERTIES"
.PP
This section lists the properties that control amstar\'s functionality\&. See
\fBamanda-applications\fR(7)
for information on application properties and how they are configured\&.
.PP
ONE\-FILE\-SYSTEM
.RS 4

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\&.
.RE
.PP
SPARSE
.RS 4

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\&.
.RE
.PP
STAR\-DLE\-TARDUMP
.RS 4

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\&.
.RE
.PP
STAR\-PATH
.RS 4

The path to the star binary\&.  The default is set when \fIAmanda\fR is built\&.
.RE
.PP
STAR\-TARDUMP
.RS 4

The directory where star stores the database it uses to generate incremental dumps\&.  The default is set when \fIAmanda\fR is built\&.
