OK - I am really trying not to pester you guys and work these things through by myself...
If I have in my 'disklist' localhost /home high-tar localhost /home/samba high-tar localhost /home/samba/files high-tar and in my global config I have it exclude ".amanda-exludes" (of course high-tar pulls from root-tar which pulls from global) and in my /home/.amanda-excludes I have pattern `./samba' and in my /home/samba/.amanda-excludes I have pattern `./files' I get localhost:/home 0 [dump larger than tape, but cannot incremental dump new disk] localhost:/home/samba 0 [dump larger than tape, but cannot incremental dump new disk] localhost:/home/samba/files 020546130k dumping to tape (16:18:20) but if I comment out the others, I have no problems with the dump being larger than tape...for example, I just commented out the localhost /home high-tar localhost /home/samba/files high-tar and then - localhost /home/samba high-tar backs up... localhost:/home/samba 028198570k dumping to tape (16:22:15) In other words, each of those file systems will back up if they are the only one being backed up but if I include all 3, only the /home/samba/files will back up and it is the largest of all of them when the .amanda-excludes are considered. What gives? - any clues? Craig
