Joe, In your first posting on this thread you deleted the OP's comments, starting with Paul B's response to the OP. That led me to believe, since I did not go back to the archive to examine the thread, that you were the OP. I did not realize you were jumping in on another, windows-related thread with a new, somewhat unrelated question (at least as to OS). If you'd like to continue exploring your situation I'd suggest you start a new thread and I'd like to see the same things I asked for earlier. You still could have shown them to us even given my mistaken assumption that you were dealing with a windows client. Namely things like: - disklist - filesystem organization - exclude file or patterns that amanda does not do what you want - tar command that does (including where you execute from) - ??? whatever you think might help BTW what issue has the list been ignoring? -- Jon H.
