What are you confused about? When using tar (as your dumptype is), a
diskdevice can be any directory. So, actually, the disknames in your DLEs
are redundant. For such a situation, I just do:
hostname /home/foo dumptype
hostname /home/bar dumptype

For those types of entries, your diskdevice would need to be the same over
multiple DLEs:
hostname /home/foo /home {
normal_backup
include ./foo
}
hostname /home/bar /home {
normal_backup
include ./bar
}
I think part of what you're missing is that if you put an include in your
dumptype, it overrides the default include *. Puzzle over the included
example disklist -- it took me a while, but I finally grokked
include/exclude/etc by looking at that and amanda(8).
Good luck.
