When using tar on different partitions, tar prunes the mounting points as we expect to.
When we have big disks, we backup different directories defined in the disklist but if some directories are included in some other ones, data in subdirectories are backup twice if we do not build up an ad-hoc exclude list. This kind of exclude list is cumbersome and error prone... With an auto-exclude option, AMANDA could figure this up and exclude the subdirectories from the directories above. Does this make sense ? Any candidate in the audience to hack this up ? :-) Thank you ! -- Ronan KERYELL |\/ Tel: (+33|0) 2.29.00.14.15 Labo Informatique & Télécom |/) Fax: (+33|0) 2.29.00.12.82 ENST Bretagne, CS 83818 K GSM: (+33|0) 6.13.14.37.66 F-29238 PLOUZANÉ CEDEX |\ E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] FRANCE | \ http://www.lit.enstb.org/~keryell
