DLE splitting problem
Hi,
I am trying to split a large directory into separate DLEs unfortunately
it does not appear to be working. Amanda version is 2.6.1p2 installed
using apt-get on a debian server.
The following line is from the currently running amdump showing that the
estimated dump size is 162gigs, however I thought I had excluded the
Line_xx directories which contain the bulk of the image data. The DLE
should only be about 500megs in size. Can anyone point me to what I am
doing wrong?
Thanks,
Vytas

Try to remove the / at the end of the exclude.
eg. exclude file optional ./Source_Files

I agree with Jean-Louis that you need to remove the trailing /
characters from the directly names. Also, if your goal is to exclude
_all_ the Line_ subdirectories, you might be able to replace all those
separate entries with a single wildcarded entry (e.g ./Line_*) or
at least just a few entries (e.g. ./Line_1?, etc.).
If you haven't discovered it already, you may find this Wiki page to be
useful in understanding how exclude works in Amanda:
http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Exclude_and_include_lists
(Finally, while I don't think it's causing any explicit problem,
note that the optional argument only applies to exclude list, not
exclude file.)
