Hi
I've
got a client machine and a Server machine. The client machine is running Sco
Unixware 7.1.1 and the Server is running RH Linux.
Backups are good except the Client fails on
/var/adm/syslog which "changes as its being read." This causes a failure in gnu
tar (not a strange.)
It's
not a huge deal since the backup up to that point is okay. But I'd like to get
rid of this error.
On my
server's amanda.conf, I tried all of the following, to no
avail:
1.
exclude list "/usr/local/..../exclude.gtar" in which I put
"./var/adm/syslog"
2.
exclude "/var/adm/syslog"
3.
exclude "./var/adm/syslog"
4.
exclude "var/adm/syslog"
Anyone
know why none of these work?
