Hi,
I have amanda configured and almost working (thanks to this list).
I have one remaining problem.
I have a disk sda5 that has /usr/ on it.
Inside /usr/ are my /dump directories. I have been wrestling with the
example in disklist
hostA /diskA/all /diskA and the relevant exclude statements.
Hi Kevin,
Are you using Amanda 2.4.3b3? I think there is a bug in the 'exclude'
lists in the definition of dumptypes (including the inline exclude
lists like you're using) for that version. The bug causes the dumps to
fail, at least it does in my case.

I think I will have to create them in a separate partition.
Try this:
1) Create a new dumptype with an exclude list option. For example:
define dumptype compressed-tar-with-excludes

Hello Kevin,
Try the latest snapshot of 2.4.3b3 from
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~martinea/amanda
it fixe a few problem with the exclude.
Don't forget to upgrade the server and the client.
I'm not sure it works if you use the device name in the disklist,
you should try with the directory name.
We're going a bit far afield from what Kevin had originally posted but oh
well.
Are you using version 2.4.2, Gene? Kevin and I are using v2.4.3b3 and
have found the same problem with exclude lists. What I have found (again,
with v2.4.3b3) was that the exclude keyword in a dumptype

However... The comments in the amanda.conf file say:
