I've upgraded my Amanda version since I can't get a clue about some strange problems at amverify (note that the backup completes regularly and I need to backup ONLY Windows hosts through smbclient).
After recreating the previous configuration following the new 2.4.4 syntax and changes I get amcheck complaining about the samba exclude list support. I've never heard this before... but it would be annoying recompiling ALSO Samba from source just to include a feature I don't need. Can anybody explain me what this error means? uranus:/usr/src/amanda-2.4.4# su backup -c /usr/sbin/amcheck ProsaDaily Amanda Tape Server Host Check ----------------------------- Holding disk /usr/local/.holding: 13655828 KB disk space available, that's plenty NOTE: skipping tape-writable test Tape PROSADAILY03 label ok NOTE: info dir /var/amanda/ProsaDaily/curinfo: does not exist NOTE: it will be created on the next run NOTE: index dir /var/amanda/ProsaDaily/index: does not exist Server check took 12.447 seconds Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check -------------------------------- ERROR: uranus.prosa.com: [samba does not support exclude list] ERROR: uranus.prosa.com: [samba does not support exclude list] ERROR: uranus.prosa.com: [samba does not support exclude list] ERROR: uranus.prosa.com: [samba does not support exclude list] ERROR: uranus.prosa.com: [samba does not support exclude list] ERROR: uranus.prosa.com: [samba does not support exclude list] Client check: 1 host checked in 1.642 seconds, 6 problems found (brought to you by Amanda 2.4.4) Thank you in advance, Fabio
