I’ve been on vacation, so I’m coming late to this discussion.
I’ve had problems trying to one-off dump a DLE is its name matches
another name. It’s true we haven’t answered why the $ doesn’t fix that.
But --
I give them “nicknames”.
disklist file:
MACHINE Main2019 /dir/subdir/name/2019 ….. {
tar
exclude "./subdir/*"
}
MACHINE SubOf2019 /dir/subdir/name/2019/subdir tar
Then I do dumps or restores by using the “nickname” which is not multiple
matched.
amdump CONFIG MACHINE Main2019
amdump CONFIG MACHINE SubOf2019
