How to configure an exclude-list for amgtar, per DLE?
I tried:
define dumptype global {
program "APPLICATION"
application "app_amgtar"
# yes, I also defined that application above
[..]
}
#disklist
main root / {
property "EXCLUDE-LIST-GLOB" "/etc/amanda/root-excludes"
[..]
}
Maybe that glob has to be on the client? manpage only says:
"EXCLUDE-LIST-GLOB
A filename containing exclude glob expression for the restore
command."
whoa, "for restore" ... what about dump time?
It has been specified in the dumptype, I think since before I
started useing it it the late '90's. I tend to keep my named exclude
lists in my /GenesAmandaHelper-0.61 directory. Clutters it some, but
it seems handier to have a fixed location, but it is on a per client
basis, so the excludes are unique to the client, achieved in the
dumptype, which is unique to that client, sometimes 4 or more per
client as os stuff is on the install cd if the disk should choke and
die.
example?
still the "exclude list" parameter? IMO the manpage doesn't tell the
exact syntax here.
Perhaps the thing glossed over is that in the file the list points to,
insufficient emphasis is placed on the format of a line, it needs an
anchor point of ./ so that it only applies to that file, or dir and
below it if the name is a directory.
As for an example:
define dumptype shop-tar-comp {
global
compress client best
exclude list "/GenesAmandaHelper-0.61/excludes"
}
And that excludes list files content:
./*.iso
./.gvfs
./Ksocket-gene
./orbit-gene
./init
./lock
./run
./rpc_pipefs
The filename itself is I think immaterial as long as its matched.
"excludes" above could both be one of the Kardashians. ;-)
I had it exactly like that and it seemed to have stopped working with
amgtar. Rechecked it, a single DLE test run looks good now. Thanks to
you, Gene.
