DEFINING APPLICATIONS
     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	insensi-
     tive to case, and - (dash) and _ (underscore) may be used interchangeably.

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