If the Amanda config has dozens of hosts and I want to skip only a few during a run, I think doing it as an option to amdump is cleaner than editing the disklist or amanda.conf file, since the latter is more error prone - I have to remember to undo the edits during the next run.
Also Sprach Jean-Louis Martineau:
The --exclude-host option is a good idea. Jean-Louis 2018-05-20 16:41 GMT-04:00 C. Chan <[email protected]>: It would be nice if amdump had some kind of --exclude-host flag which would skip over that host even if it is in the disklist file.
