Yes I am doing that already albeit a little bit differently: using find with
the --mount option (piped to cpio):
find / /home \
-mount \
-path "/tmp" -prune -o \
-path "/home/ftp" -prune -o \
-path "/home/media" -prune -o \
-path "/home/tmp" -prune -o \
-print0 \

gzip \

So I only end up backing up the filesystems I want. I was just asking if
amanda was capable of that.
