All,
        I am using amanda (2.4.4p1) on a 280R running Solaris 8 with a 10
tape DLT IV autoloader. This is going to backup a SANS (256gb).

        Since the SANS cannot have any *applications* installed on it (ie:
the amanda client daemons), I am using gnutar to try to do the backups.
amdump is working fine until I try to backup a directory that has many large
files in a subdirectory. In order to allow amanda to copy the files to
the 40gb (native) tape, I have put entries in the disklist file with
wildcards for the files I want to include:

disklist:

myhost /data/los/2003 {
        include "*200300*"
        data-tar
                        }


myhost is the SUN machine with the tape drive on it's scsi chain. The daemons are installed and in the inetd.conf and services file on this machine.

        /data/los/2003 is the NFS mount directory off of the SANS.
The total number of bytes for files with *200300* in the subdir is < 20gb.

        When I run amcheck against this, is exits without errors. When I run amdump,
I get the following error:


FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
myhost /data/los/2003 lev 0 FAILED [dump larger than tape, 74339580 KB, but cannot incremental dump new disk]
planner: FATAL cannot fit anything on tape, bailing out



Am I using the incorrect syntax on my include statement, or is this not supported
in amanda?


I have tried searching google, but could come up with no examples of using wildcards in
the disklist file.
