again: amanda version 2.4.2 and NT
Because I didn't get an answer I post my question again:
Since now we have installed Amanda 2.4.1p1 which doesn't support exclude
lists in Samba backups. Because I thought the current version 2.4.2 does
we've downloaded it. But after reading the docs
I coudn't find any hint in there.
Just to be sure once again the question:
does version 2.4.2 support file exclusion on NT clients?
And something else:
Here is the output of our tapetype programm for Overland LoaderXpress.
Until yet I coudn`t find any example for it.
define tapetype DLT-8000-IV {
comment "just produced by our tapetype program on 02.01.2001"
length 38042 mbytes
filemark 114 kbytes
speed 5865 kbytes
}
Thanx
Alex

I didn't think Samba's tar command supported exclude lists? If Samba doesn't, Amanda can't. -- Joi Ellis [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.visi.com/~gyles19/
Re: again: amanda version 2.4.2 and NT
does version 2.4.2 support file exclusion on NT clients? Based on reading the code (not first hand experience), it supports "exclude FILENAME" to omit a single file. It does not support the more general "exclude list EXCLUDEFILE". As Joi pointed out, this is a limit of smbclient, not Amanda. Note also that I don't think the exclusion is taken into account when gathering the estimate (a different/faster method is used), so this could throw things off if the excluded file is large.
