Hi there. I backup a system, and I notice that it complains about 'unusual or strange backup result' during the email. These are files I forgot to exclude; things like logs, that change during the backup. So, I added them to /etc/exclude.gtar which is defined properly in amanda.conf in 'server-tar', the exclude.gtar is stored at the client, and I am running the client as root (so that it has access to everything), and amcheck shows no problems. yet, every day I keep getting complaints about the same files; like ./apache/cgi-bin/openwebmail/etc/sessions/blah has changed. well, in exclude.gtar I have: ./apache/cgi-bin/openwebmail/etc/sessions and I assumed that this should have stopped everything under 'sessions' from being backed up?
I checked the wording, in fact, I did cut/paste from the error emails. I'm obviously missing something! Can anyone help? thanks! -turgut ----- Turgut Kalfaoglu: http://www.kalfaoglu.com EgeNet Internet Services: http://www.egenet.com.tr
