Hi I am trying to get amanda to backup selected hierarchies on some remote machines, but the excluding syntax is confusing me. As an example: On machineA I want to back up the root partition, excluding /dev. I also want to back up /usr without backing /usr/src.
What I did was to create files called .amanda-excludes in / and in /usr. /.amanda-excludes contains the line ./dev
/usr/.amanda-excludes contains the line ./src
On the backup server, the amanda.conf file contains the line exclude list "./.amanda-excludes" in the dump type root-tar.
disklist then contains the lines machineA / comp-user-tar machineA /usr comp-user-tar
where comp-user-tar includes the definitions for root-tar
When the backup runs, all of the remote partitions get backed up, including the excluded directories.
What's wrong with my configuration? ===== Regards
Gareth Howell
