I'm trying to break up a large disk into smaller sections when it does a backup.. I tried:
localhost /sda5/other sda5 { exclude "./files"
exclude "./snap"
exclude "./web"
always-full } 1
You are using amanda 2.4.3 or above, I presume.
Is your base dumptype "always-full" using gnutar? Only gnutar can use the exclude parameter.
Your base dumptype is at the end of the list - strange. I've never tried it like that; it may work. Verify with: amadmin YourConf disklist localhost /sda5/other to verify that all parameters are indeed correct.
If specifying more than one exclude you want to add the "append" keyword, otherwise it will overwrite the previous exclude.
And, not really an error, but it's best to use the real host name instead of "localhost". This will bite you sooner or later. Don't tell us we didn't warn you.
Like this:
host.dom.ain /mount/point {
allways-full
program "GNUTAR"
exclude append "./files"
exclude append "./snap"
exclude append "./web"
} 1
