Hi, Not sure if this is going to help you but my tests with amanda-3.3.5 show that multiple "includefile" stanzas work, along with or without inline DLEs.
My "test" uses the command "/opt/amanda/sbin/amadmin <conf> disklist" and checks that its output corresponds to the content of the disklist and the includefiles. So all the following disklist files seem to behave as expected: 1- one inline DLE + 1x includefile: client /disk1 app-amgtar includefile "duh-disklist-1" 2- one DLE + 2x includefiles: client /disk1 app-amgtar includefile "duh-disklist-1" includefile "duh-disklist-2" 3- only includefiles: client /disk1 app-amgtar includefile "duh-disklist-1" includefile "duh-disklist-2" cheers, jf * Debra S Baddorf <[email protected]> [20160309 12:37]: > So, it seems that amanda can only do ONE include file (just from your > experimental evidence; I’m not an expert on that, so I”m not answering that > question). > > How about having your code, which generates the AUTO list, start by making > a copy of the MANUAL list, and append > the auto entries at the end of that file?
