I had posted this msg before, but I had given the wrong info. I'm backing up / on one of my clients. I would like to exclude /var/adm/syslog from the backup.
On my server:amanda.conf, I have defined a disklist entry with "exclude "./var/adm/syslog"" and I'm using this in my disklist file. But it's not working. tar continues to give me an error (actually a failure) about "/var/adm/syslog: changes as we read it." Now, I know this isn't much of a problem. But since my Amanda report gets mailed out every day to the IT director and the project manager, I'd like to NUKE this FAILURE message, cuz they think the backup is failing. Any help?!
