Hi.
I have one client host that refuses to listen to the exclude list option in
the dumptype.
I know it works, for example I backup a 120GB /amanda directory/parition on the
tape
host that contains the directory holdingdisk, that is excluded in the dumptype:
define dumptype amandadir {

Thanks for the advice on doing that. I had such an environment set up last
year, and was able to replicate it at will on the Windows boxes. I'll set
it up again for the linux systems. Working this out on Windows stalled
because I was reluctant to toy with these production systems. Windows

Someone else reported a different syntax that conflicts with the man page,
but actually makes more sense to the naked eye. This may be a
documentation problem.
The documentation is correct:

Okay, last year I had observed that perfectly valid gnutar exclude lists
were being ignored by amanda on Windows machines. The best answer anyone
could give me was to build my own tar program that does the excludes, and
replace runtar.

Hi Javi,
I've had 2 problems with this. First of all, try to check what file
amanda thinks the gtar exclude files are in--I found out that it was
really looking in /usr/local/lib/amanda/exclude.gtar even though it was
supposed to be /usr/local/var/amanda/exclude.gtar. I just kept the file
in
so, I see the "." prepending the path, and added another path to the exclude
list :
/var/spool
./var/spool
but the error persists :/
could anyone let me know why ? :?
Jonathan had a really good idea about making sure GNU tar is even
using the exclusions file you think it is. Take a look
