from the amanda(1) man page: include [ list|file ][[optional][ append ][ "string" ]+] Default: file ".". There is two include list include file and include list. With include file , the string is a glob expression. With include list , the string is a file name on the client contain- ing glob expression. All include expression are expanded by amanda and concatenated in one file and passed to gnutar as a --files-from argument. They must start with "./" and containing no other "/". The last sentence explains your problem. hth jf > > > (Running Amanda 2.4.4p2 on i386-redhat-linux) > > > -- > Andreas Lund ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) > Tel: +47 90.07.71.62 / +47 63.88.33.56 > Ano-Tech Computers (http://www.atc.no/) > ** He had a baseball bat and I was tied to a chair. > ** Pissing him off was the smart thing to do. -- Max Payne
