I wonder why you put the excludes file in with the stuff being backed
up? I usually put my excludes files in with my amanda files, and refer
to them with a fully qualified path:
define dumptype comp-root-tar-var {
comp-root-tar
comment "Root partitions with compression, special for /var"
exclude list "/etc/amanda/DailySet1/excludes.var"
}
I'm no expert on UEFI, but it strikes me as asking for problems to put
anything other than UEFI files in /boot/efi. I vaguely recall that that
is a FAT file system, in which case the file name may be a problem.
Also, it's rather hard to diagnose what is likely a permissions issue
without knowing what the relevant permissions are.
root@hawk:/etc/amanda/DailySet1# ll excludes.var
-rw-r--r-- 1 backup backup 138 Mar 26 2018 excludes.var
root@hawk:/etc/amanda/DailySet1#
--
Does anybody read signatures any more?
