Hi I have create the path and exclude.gtar file with the same permissions as on my main tape/index server.
So I assume that when the GNU tar runs on the backup server it will not tar/backup any files within the dumptype parameter on the amanda clients with the default path thus I can know see the logic as different clients would have different exclude list to suit. I see what happens tomorrow . Cheers On Tue, 2005-10-04 at 11:08 +0200, Stefan G.
