Hi.
I have one client host that refuses to listen to the "exclude list" option in
the dumptype.
I know it works, for example I backup a 120GB /amanda directory/parition on the
tape
host that contains the directory holdingdisk, that is excluded in the dumptype:
define dumptype amandadir {
global
exclude list "/usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/amanda_exclude.gtar"
program "GNUTAR"
}
and that file contains one line and one line only:
[r...@tapehost /usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1] #>cat amanda_exclude.gtar
./holdingdisk
and that [thankfully ;-) ] is not backed up.
So here is what I have (well the important stuff) with regards to the config
I have some problems with:
On the amanda tape server in amanda.conf:
define dumptype sambadir {
global
exclude list "/usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/samba_exclude.gtar"
program "GNUTAR"
}
On the amanda tape server in disklist (amongst other partitions and hosts):
...
192.168.X.Y /var standard
192.168.X.Y /src standard
192.168.X.Y /samba sambadir
...
on the client 192.168.X.Y I have a file that is refered to above that contains
[r...@192.168.x.y /] #>cat /usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/samba_exclude.gtar
./Shares/Backup
./Shares/score_testing
./Shares/SharedBinariesWinNT
./Shares/SharedBinariesWin2000
Those directories are full of stuff that does not need to be backed up,
but when I look in the gnutar-list directory of that client:
[r...@192.168.x.y /var/lib/amanda/gnutar-lists] #>grep "./Shares\/Backup"
192.168.X.Y_samba_1

So I am not sure why it does not work, basically it is 50GB of crap I do not
need
and is only required for "historical purposes".
What am I doing wrong?
