NAME

       amraw - Amanda Application open and read data

DESCRIPTION

       Amraw is an Amanda Application API script. It should not be run by users directly. It uses
       dd to backup and restore data.

       Amraw can backup only one directory entry, it can be a single file, a raw device, anything
       that amanda can open and read.

       The diskdevice in the disklist (DLE) must be the filename amraw open and read.

       Restore is done in place, an open is done and the data is written to it. A file owned by
       root and permission 0600 is create if the directory entry doesn't exist before the
       restore.

       Only full backup is allowed

           plugin "amraw"
         }
       A dumptype using this application might look like:

           global
           program "APPLICATION"
           application "app_amraw"
         }
