Hi all,
I noticed in the archives that back in May, Mathias K�rber asked this
question, but no answer was offered. If by chance someone "in the know"
missed that question, I'll ask it again, since I'm wondering how to
accomplish a particular task.
What is the relationship between the "include" and "exclude" features?
I am using excludes quite successfully, but I have a new DLE that would
best be done with a single "include".
I have a Debian box offering MySQL services, with a large partition for
storing the database info. I know that AMANDA cannot back up the db
files directly, so I have a script that dumps each database to a file,
and those files are what I want to back up. For disk space reasons,
this backup directory is on the same partition as the active db files.
OK, time to specify the include (the mountpoint of /dev/md4 is
/var/lib/mysql):
monty md4 {
comp-user-tar
include "./.backup"
} 0
Will the above statement include *only* the directory "./.backup",
implicitly excluding everything else, or do I need to append an exclude
of "./*"? If I do have to specify both include and exclude, does the
order matter?
Thanks,
Eric
