Due to the resounding silence, I’ll pipe up, with what I *used* to do for exclude files, but which doesn’t seem to work anymore. This WAS in my amanda.conf file. define dumptype tomatoTar { BDtar # ##exclude list optional "/usr/local/var/amanda/exclude-list" exclude list optional "./amanda-exclude-list” } The second exclude line put the file at the top of the DLE … wherever that top may be. It used to work. It doesn’t any more, and I don’t know when it stopped. I’ve gotten bigger tapes, so I didn’t try to fight it, but just let the exclusions be included. The line above which is still commented out, with a fully specified location, was in use before that. I don’t know if it is broken or not. When I switched to the “at top of each DLE” style, I used the new-to-me format everywhere. The following *IS* currently working for me. I’m putting the exclude directly in the disklist. mtamaster1.fnal.gov DataMtaTOP /data/mta { dailyTarKRB5 exclude "./r2016" exclude append "./Run201[56]/201MHzCavity/analysis" exclude append "./Run201[56]/201MHzCavity/rawdata" exclude append "./Run201[56]/HPRFCavity/analysis" exclude append "./Run201[56]/HPRFCavity/rawdata" exclude append "./Run201[56]/ModularCavity/analysis" exclude append "./Run201[567]/ModularCavity/rawdata" ##hopefully, this will INCLUDE any new folders/files created amongst the above } Not a direct answer to your question, but maybe it’s helpful.
