exclude lists were, the last time I used them, to be stated in "relative" format. If you had entered ./tmp and ./hold (note the leading dot to anchor it to the present directory) then *any* tmp dir and *any* hold dir will have been skipped, including the subdirs of any such named dir. But please read the docs, this may have been changed since the last time I used this feature. As the stuff I figure is loseable in /tmp, then I just don't put it in my disklist, and of course I do not have a "/" entry in my disklist as that would take about 6 of my 4 gig tapes to cover in one swell foop. I can regenerate it if I need it bad enough. > >define dumptype root-tar { > global > program "GNUTAR" > comment "root partitions dumped with tar" > compress none > index > exclude list "/usr/local/lib/amanda/exclude.gtar" > priority low >} > >define dumptype comp-root-tar { > root-tar > comment "Root partitions with compression" > compress client fast >} > >[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# grep backup /etc/amanda/DailySet1/disklist >backup /dev/hda1 comp-root-tar > > >What am I doing wrong to get /tmp and /hold excluded? -- Cheers, Gene AMD [EMAIL PROTECTED] 320M [EMAIL PROTECTED] 512M 99.23% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly
