The required comment ... use of hostnames rather than localhost is recommended. > and in my global config I have it exclude ".amanda-exludes" > (of course high-tar pulls from root-tar which pulls from global) The exclude directive can be given two modifiers, "list" or "file". It defaults to "file". So your directive is the equivalent of exclude file ".amanda-excludes". The "file" modifier says you want to exclude a single file named .amanda-excludes. Not what you really are trying to do. The modifier "list" is used to specify the name of a file containing a list of exclude patterns. So you want the "list" modifier. > and in my /home/.amanda-excludes I have > pattern `./samba' > > and in my /home/samba/.amanda-excludes I have > pattern `./files' I've never seen the word "pattern" put in an exclude file. Maybe it is optional, but I do not see it in the docs either. Likewise I've never seen the pattern in the exclude files quoted. -- Jon H.
