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 > What happens if i write > exclude /home/* > include /home/foo > > or > include /home/foo > exclude /home/* > > ? Either one seems backward-logic to me. 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).
