.SH "NAME"
amsuntar \- Amanda Application to interface with native tar utility available on solaris platforms
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Amsuntar is an Amanda Application API script\&. It should not be run by users directly\&. It uses Solaris bundled tar utility to backup and restore data\&. Currenty ACLs from ZFS file system can only be backed up using the solaris supplied tar utility\&.
.PP
The
\fBdiskdevice\fR
in the disklist (DLE) must be the directory to backup\&.
.PP
Solaris 10 supports Role Based Access Control(RBAC) which is enabled by default\&. To run backup operations using sun tar utility by under privileged user like amandabackup, amandabackup user need to have proper roles and profiles, specially "Media Backup" profile/role\&. This can be done using \*(Aqusermod \-P "Media Backup" amandabackup\*(Aq command\&.
.SH "PROPERTIES"
.PP
This section lists the properties that control amsuntar\*(Aqs functionality\&. See
\fBamanda-applications\fR(7)

Optional tar read or write block size\&.  The default is 256\&.
.RE
.PP
DIRECTORY

Include extended attributes in archive\&.  The default is YES\&.
.RE
.PP

.RE
.PP

.RE
.PP
LANG

.sp
.nf
is not a file\&. Not dumped\e$
