Re: includefile in disklist
Hi all, I have a similar goal in mind. I am backing up mailboxes and want to avoid manually adding a DLE for any newly added mail account. I rely on cron more than on my memory. My intent was also to keep things modular. I would like to have a dedicated disklist for every possible autogenerated set of DLEs. Say, one for mailboxes, another one for sites, user homes... Hence the initial question. Anyway, the issue is solved. I know that multiple includefile stanzas are not possible with amanda-3.3.3 in rhel7.

How about having your code, which generates the AUTO list, start by making a copy of the MANUAL list, and append the auto entries at the end of that file? New every day, but including a copy of the fixed list at the beginning.

Re: includefile in disklist
Hallo Sorry, I should have included version info. So, I am using amanda 3.3.3, from rhel7. And yes, the DLEs are unique. I experimented with changing the order of includefile directives and found out that the last one always wins.

includefile in disklist
Hi list members, My question is how to combine in a single disklist file definitions of DLE and includefile directives. Seems that this is impossible. I tried the following cases: ### case 1 that worked disklist contains only DLE entries of the form server.domain.com /etccomp-root-tar server.domain.com /var/www comp-root-tar Result: everything works fine ### case 2, that did not work I wanted to add more DLEs to the abive disklist by including them from an automatically generated file server.domain.com /etccomp-root-tar server.domain.com /var/www comp-root-tar includefile "disklist.auto" Result: only entries from included disklist.auto work (and reported by amadmin CONFIG disklist) ### case 3, again, no luck I thought that mixing two types of entries is not possible and extracted case 1 into disklist.manual. Now my disklist is includefile "disklist.manual" includefile "disklist.auto" Result: again, only disklist.auto works. Only the last of included files works ### WTF? I reread the disklist manual and found an interesting clause < The /disklist/ file determines which disks will be backed up by Amanda.

includefile in disklist
Hi, In amanda-3.3.2 if I use includefile directive in disklist, that directive must be the first thing in the file, and only one includefile is allowed, this is a feature or a bug? Cheers, Nuno -- Nuno Dias nd...@lip.pt LIP
