Perhaps I overlooked it in the syntax description,
but for commands like amdump that take host and
disk arguments ( [host [disk]] ), if you just
give the host, it does all the disks (DLEs).
However is there a syntax for "all except foobar".
The manpage Amanda(8) where "Host and Disk Expression"
are documented indicates some wildcarding is allowed.
Thus, for a host where I wanted all DLEs excpet one
that began with the letter "A" I tried:
amdump <config> host '[!A]*'
This was a no-starter, giving an argument of:
Argument [!A]* cannot be both a host and a disk
What have I overlooked in the docs?
