Hello Amanda users,
One of my amanda clients includes a system with (Solaris 10) non-global
zones, because of the file structure of the client, capacity of the
tape on the server, etc, I'm using tar to back up the files under
each of the non-global zones separately.
I find errors such as this in my amdump output.
/-- dorldom1 / lev 1 STRANGE
sendbackup: start [dorldom1:/ level 1]
sendbackup: info BACKUP=/usr/sfw/bin/gtar
sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/bin/gzip -dc |/usr/sfw/bin/gtar -xpGf - ...
sendbackup: info COMPRESS_SUFFIX=.gz
sendbackup: info end

| Total bytes written: 96706560 (93MiB, 1023KiB/s)
sendbackup: size 94440
sendbackup: end
And had moved to a structure like this in my dislist file.
dorldom1 /export/zones/sc1beaz1 {
comp-user-tar
exclude "./root/proc"
}
However since I have multiple instances of this issue I thought
I would move to a structure more like this.
dorldom1 /export/zones/sc1beaz1 {
comp-user-tar
exclude list "/export/home/amanda/exclude-list"
}
Where I have determined that /export/home/amanda directory is
on the specific client system and not the amanda server.
Right ?
Also, I have a question of relative location.
I think the exclude-list should be written
./root/proc
indicating relative location from the location of the head
of the tar ball, not
/export/zones/sc1beaz1/root/proc
which would be absolute from the root of the file system.
Is that correct ?
thank you,
Brian
