I have two questions for you:
1) any owners of HP SureStore DLT vs80 unit here ? If yes, what kind of performance do you have with amrecover. I did a recover this morning, it took 67 minutes to recover a single 2 bytes file. The backup take 7 minutes so are this unit is really that slow for reading ?
2) our backups are done with 'dump' so I backup whole filesystems, but I want to exclude some directories (example: /var/log and /usr). I read that I only have to create a (empty) .amanda_excludes file in the directory I want to exclude and to add this directive:
exclude list ".amanda_excludes"
in amanda.conf. But those directories are still being back up. This is my dumptype definition:
define dumptype hard-disk-compress {
global
comment "Back up to hard disk instead of tape - using dump"
holdingdisk no
index yes
priority high
compress client fast
exclude list ".amanda_excludes"
}Thanks.
