Hello, is there a way to control what in a disk given in the disklist should be backed up, when only access to this disk is given? I'm thinking of a user controlling what should be backed up by putting something in his home directory. Clearly it can be undesirable to backup it all; one might

Hallo Stefan, The exclude-files get placed on the clients! No NFS needed. Sorry, I haven't look carefully enough. This means, however, that indeed all of the data is fetched by amanda prior to backing up, right (so all will go on the holding disk first)? Presumably this mean that the
