You may have brought something to my attention, I know for a fact that
the amanda.conf on this server machine is using amgtar.
define application-tool app_amgtar {
comment "amgtar"
plugin "amgtar"
#property "GNUTAR-PATH" "/path/to/gtar"
#property "GNUTAR-LISTDIR" "/path/to/gnutar_list_dir"
#default from gnutar_list_dir setting in amanda-client.conf
property "ONE-FILE-SYSTEM" "yes" #use '--one-file-system' option
#property "SPARSE" "yes" #use '--sparse' option
#property "ATIME-PRESERVE" "yes" #use '--atime-preserve=system'
option
property "CHECK-DEVICE" "no" #use '--no-check-device' if set
to "no"
property "IGNORE" ": socket ignored$"
# property append "IGNORE" ": Directory is new$"
# property append "IGNORE" ": Directory has been renamed"
property append "IGNORE" "file changed as we read it$"
}
later in that file however,
define dumptype dt_amgtar {
program "APPLICATION"
application "app_amgtar"
index yes
}
define dumptype global {
comment "Global definitions"
# This is quite useful for setting global parameters, so you don't
have
# to type them everywhere. All dumptype definitions in this sample
file
# do include these definitions, either directly or indirectly.
# There's nothing special about the name `global'; if you create any
# dumptype that does not contain the word `global' or the name of any
# other dumptype that contains it, these definitions won't apply.
# Note that these definitions may be overridden in other
# dumptypes, if the redefinitions appear *after* the `global'
# dumptype name.
# You may want to use this for globally enabling or disabling
# indexing, recording, etc. Some examples:
index yes
program "GNUTAR"
auth "bsdtcp"
allow-split true
: # program "APPLICATION"
# record no
# splitsize 2000m
## split_diskbuffer "/dumps"
# fallback_splitsize 64m
# estimate calcsize
}
But as can be seen, the global dumptype never got changed, it still says
GNUTAR!! What is the proper syntax? I'll change it before the run
tonight.
But at the same time I don't know what the "canned at another farm"
clients are running. ATM I up to my butt in something else, but I will
see about it over the weekend.
