Hi Jean-Francois, The relative "exclude list" works for me.
Could you send me all the log files for an amcheck and amdump run? amandad.*.debug selfcheck.*.debug selfcheck.*.exclude sendsize.*.debug sendsize.*.exclude sendbackup.*.debug sendbackup.*.exclude runtar.*.exclude The *.exclude files should be a copy of your .amanda-gnutar-exclude-list.txt? Tar should be called with "--exclude-from" followed by the path of the corresponding *.exclude file. You upgrade the client and server to 2.4.3b4?
