amanda backups with tar does not branch to other file systems through the mount points. each fs must be backed up individually with tar you can specify multiple starting points within a single file system. this would be done with multiple disklist entries. in this case, duplication of data in the backup is possible as is omission of a complete fs backup. depends on your choice of starting points -- Jon H.
