Due to the resounding silence, I’ll pipe up, with what I *used* to do for
exclude files,
but which doesn’t seem to work anymore. This WAS in my amanda.conf file.
define dumptype tomatoTar {
BDtar
# ##exclude list optional "/usr/local/var/amanda/exclude-list"
exclude list optional "./amanda-exclude-list”
}
The second exclude line put the file at the top of the DLE … wherever that top
may be.
It used to work. It doesn’t any more, and I don’t know when it stopped. I’ve
gotten bigger
tapes, so I didn’t try to fight it, but just let the exclusions be included.
The line above which is still commented out, with a fully specified location,
was in use before
that. I don’t know if it is broken or not. When I switched to the “at top of
each DLE” style,
I used the new-to-me format everywhere.
The following *IS* currently working for me. I’m putting the exclude directly
in the disklist.
mtamaster1.fnal.gov DataMtaTOP /data/mta {
dailyTarKRB5
exclude "./r2016"
exclude append "./Run201[56]/201MHzCavity/analysis"
exclude append "./Run201[56]/201MHzCavity/rawdata"
exclude append "./Run201[56]/HPRFCavity/analysis"
exclude append "./Run201[56]/HPRFCavity/rawdata"
exclude append "./Run201[56]/ModularCavity/analysis"
exclude append "./Run201[567]/ModularCavity/rawdata"
##hopefully, this will INCLUDE any new folders/files created amongst the
above
}
Not a direct answer to your question, but maybe it’s helpful.
