You can use the exclude file if you're using tar, in which case you can put it where the most free space is. Mine's in /usr/dumps as I had 27 gigs free there a year ago when I set this one up, and is so entered in amanda.conf IIRC. The exclude files entries are in relative format, meaning that the entry line for excluding /usr/dumps looks like './dumps/' without the quotes. The leading ./ is very important. AIUI, dump users will need to setup a seperate partition and leave that filesystem out of the disklist in order to achieve that exclusion. -- Cheers, Gene AMD K6-III@500mhz 320M Athlon1600XP@1400mhz 512M 99.11% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly
