Hello Kevin, Try the latest snapshot of 2.4.3b3 from http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~martinea/amanda it fixe a few problem with the exclude. Don't forget to upgrade the server and the client.
I'm not sure it works if you use the device name in the disklist, you should try with the directory name. dilmom /usr { high-tar exclude "./dumps" } 1 Jean-Louis -- Jean-Louis Martineau email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Departement IRO, Universite de Montreal C.P. 6128, Succ.
