I get quite a few errors from my backups of Windows boxes - how can i safely place exclude errors so I no longer get this noise. Below is a snippet from last nights backup:

[...]
? ERRDOS - ERRbadshare opening remote file \pagefile.sys (\)

Any assistance appreciated.

Recompile with the additional IGNORE_SMBCLIENT_ERRORS macro defined, like this:

$ cd /path/to/amanda/source/dir
$ make distclean
$ CFLAGS=-DIGNORE_SMBCLIENT_ERRORS ./configure --with...
   (followed by all the normal configure options)
$ make
$ su
# make install


Note that "real" errors (about files that you did not expect to be excluded) are masked now too.

In the file client-src/sendbackup-gnutar.c, in beginning
(line 50-120) there a regular expression table, where the additional
define includes a block of patterns.

If needed, add patterns to that table in the appropriate category
(normal, error, strange). Or add patterns that only exclude messages
about the expected files (pagefile.sys etc.).
