OK, so by way of an update.... I can't seem to make this work. By way of test, I have tried the following in my DLE for the Windows server:
exclude list "/etc/amanda/DailySet1/excludes-server_data in which I made the following entries: ./Accounting ./Archives ... ./zzzArchive I then ran the DailySet1 backup, but it still continued to backup the entire contents of the directory. I then read that the ZWC does not support exclude lists; just "vanilla" excludes. I changed my DLE entry for "E:/SERVER_DATA" to look like this: exclude "E:\\SERVER_DATA\\Accounting" exclude "E:\\SERVER_DATA\\Archives" ... exclude "E:\\SERVER_DATA\\zzzArchive" ad ran my DailySet1 backup. It shouldn't have backed up anything, but it still proceeded to backuop the entire "E:\SERVER_DATA" directory. Is anyone backing up Windows files and successfully using excludes? Would it maybe work better if I were backing up via SMB instead of using the ZWC? -Alan
