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?
