ah, so absolute paths are not possible here? Using an absolute path for the exclude-list file in the dumptype definition as I did, would then lead to the exclusion af ANY directory named "mac" on ANY filesystem that uses this dumptype? Not what I wanted... The solution seems to use a _relative_ definition of the exclude-list file as well: [amanda.conf] exclude-list ".amanda-exclude.gtar" and [/disk-c1/martin/.amanda-exclude.gtar] ./mac I'll try this and see if it works. Many thanks for your help, Martin
