Hi! As I understand it, I can actually give a relative path name, and it will access the file within each share that I set up?
Thanks for the confirmation that I was on the right track -- I'll find out tonight how well it works...

For /home, define a new dumptype identical to the one above but with a new name (obviously) and 'exclude list "$PATH/TO/FILE/ON/CLIENT"'. Then, on the client, put a file in the designated place. In that file, list: ./user1 ./user3 And that should do it. Good luck. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
