man amanda.conf
include [ list | file ][[optional][append][ string ]+]
All include expressions are expanded by Amanda, concatenated
in one
file and passed to GNU-tar as a --files-from argument. They must
start with "./" and contain no other "/".
You can't do what you try to do.

I'm having a hard time getting a DLE correctly created to archive some
snapshots. My snapshots are housed in directories like:
snapshot/monthly.0/
a/
b/
c/
snapshot/monthly.1/
a/
b/
c/
snapshot/monthly.2/
a/
b/
c/
...so on and so on... For each snapshot, I must create multiple DLEs
to make the volume of data more manageable. As such, for each snapshot
directory, I need to create multiple DLEs. The data is very uniform
within each snapshot directory so I'd love to be able to provide broad
regexs to snatch everything up within each DLE.
At this time I either wind up with no data or a backup which ran for
over 50-hours, which should have finished in less than 19. I had to
kill it. Frequently I get a nice message saying that something strange
happened with the backup and the strangeness is always associated with
these snapshots. Which isn't exactly surprising in that its not
backing up any data. Obviously I'm not doing something right here.
What I would like to have is DLEs which grabs something like:
DLE 1: snapshot/monthly*/a/*
DLE 2: snapshot/monthly*/b/*
DLE 3: snapshot/monthly*/c/*
I've tried many variations of defining my DLE to do this so I'll not
bother sharing what I have. Honestly, I doubt I can recall all the
variations I've tried.
I'll also add, I have many DLEs working without issue with regexes.
All of the ones which are proving problematic are the ones which
require multiple wildcards.
Can someone shed some light on this or perhaps suggest a better
strategy for doing this type of thing?
Thanks,
