Amanda 3.5.4                                       01/25/2025                             AMANDA-APPLICATIONS(7)

       An application is defined in amanda.conf(5) as follows:

       define application-tool $appconfigname {
          plugin "$pluginname"
          property "$PROPERTY_NAME" "$PROPERTY_VALUE"
          ...
       }
       and then referenced in a dumptype as

       define dumptype $dumptypename {
          ...
          program "APPLICATION"
          application "$appconfigname"
       }

       Application properties, like Amanda configuration parameters, are insensitive to case, and - (dash) and _
       (underscore) may be used interchangeably.

       See the individual plugin documentation for properties applicable to each plugin.
