I am trying to backup a directory with a space in its name,
however, amanda doesn't seem to like it in the disklist.
For example, my disklist entry looks like:
mycomputer /export/dir_with_a space myconfig
When I run an amcheck, I get:
ERROR: mycomputer: [BOGUS REQUEST PACKET]
I've tried:
mycomputer '/export/dir_with_a space' myconfig
mycomputer "/export/dir_with_a space" myconfig
mycomputer /export/dir_with_a\ space myconfig
all with similar results.
Any ideas?
That's a known limitation of the current implementation.
But there's an easy workaround: create a symlink on the
client without spaces (if you can't rename the directory).
ln -s 'dir_with_a space' dirWithoutSpaces
and put the symlink in the disklist.
Note: only this top symlink is resolved, symlink inside the
directory tree are not resolved in the backup image.
