But above you said it works using amanda-2.4.2p2! I think you meant that it works using smbclient by hand. In terms of getting amanda to do this, well, you've got the source. ;) The issue is that tar only supports excluding a single file from the command line, while smbclient supports excluding multiple files. And, not having gone through this portion of the code, I'm not sure where amanda differentiates between GNUTAR dumps using tar and GNUTAR dumps using smbclient. If it's only in sendbackup, then it's going to take some doing, because it's the request packet that it getting screwed up. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
