The Amanda core team is pleased to announce the release of Amanda 2.4.3b3. It is the third beta release of 2.4.3. All known bugs are fixed.
It can be dowloaded from http://www.amanda.org/ This release include a change in the behavior of the exclude option in a dumptype. It it now possible to have many 'exclude' and many 'exclude list' simultaneously. In previous release, only the last one was used. Look at the amanda man page for a description. The command 'amadmin <config> disklist' will show the exclude used. You need to upgrade the server and client to use multiple exclude, you will get the following message from amcheck if your client is not upgraded: ahost /usr lev 0 FAILED [badly formatted response from ahost] The new 'include' option in a dumptype and the new format of a disklist entry (diskdevice different than the diskname) make it easier to separate a disk in multiple disklist entry using GNUTAR. Look at the amanda man page and example/disklist file for example on how to use it. You need to upgrade the server and client to use 'include' or the new disklist format. Here's a list of the changes for release 2.4.3b3 (from the NEWS file): Look at the ChangeLog file for more details. * --with-maxtapeblocksize configure options * blocksize tapetype option * file-pad tapetype option * Multiple exclude in dumptype * Option include in dumptype * New disklist syntax: * hostname diskname [ diskdevice ] dumptype [ spindle [ interface ] ] * chg-zd-mtx: Major cleanup and general overhaul. * amrecover: new listdisk command.
