exclude question

Hi, I have a little situation here: a large disk partition (500GB) to be backed up using amanda with LTO 100GB tapes in a STK-L40 library. Trying to break up that partition in chunks less than 100GB is a bit difficult: one subdir contains more than 100GB but also has something close to 2000

I edited my dumptypes to be the following; ... exclude ./var exclude ./dev Only one exclude statement is allowed per dumptype. If you want more than one, you need to create a file on the client with them and then use exclude list /path/to/that/client/file. See the amanda(8) man page

?gtar: ./var/log/syslog: file changed as we read it: No such file or directory It looks to me like amanda is trying to backup something in the /var directory even though I excluded it. ... GNU tar is trying to do that, not Amanda. Go gripe to those people. This has come up here before.
