Dear all, I've now configured an exclusion list for use with Amanda. At first I used these entries:
*.ora *.dbf *.dmp *.dmp.gz* but then I re-read the Amanda documentation, which states: "When AMANDA attempts to exclude a file or directory it does so relative to the area being archived. For example if /var is in your disklist and you want to exclude /var/log/somefile, then your exclude file would contain ./log/somefile" So I've changed the entries to these: ./*.ora ./*.dbf ./*.dmp ./*.dmp.gz* amcheck config reports no errors or problems with either set of entries. I really just want to confirm whether or not I could have used the entries without ./ and what the difference between the different sets of entries would be. Thanks very much.
