If you haven't already found it, you may find the Wiki pages on this topic to be useful: http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Exclude_and_include_lists http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/How_To:Split_DLEs_With_Exclude_Lists In particular, take a close look at the last paragraph in the "Utiliize and Exclude List" section http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Exclude_and_include_lists#Utilize_an_Exclude_List (just before the "Do not include the data in the disklist" section heading), which explains that you don't want to use the trailing slash in the excluded directory name. So that probably explains why ./aguirre not successfully getting excluded from the jet-a dump. > and then > > [amandabackup@cback ~]$ amadmin jet1 estimate cfile jet-aguirre > > doesn't output anything.

It seems like the "estimate" command might do some actual estimation for the highest-numbered dump level (or something), but overall the "estimate" and "info" subcommands just show info accumulated from earlier amdump runs and saved under in the "infofile" directory. (The files are just text files so you can take a look at them if you are curious.) So the data they show won't reflect any changes you've made to the disklist file until after the next amdump run (and even then the level 0 info shown won't get updated until a level 0 dump actually happens, etc....). (On Debian/Ubuntu this directory is usuall found under /var/lib/amanda/[CONFIG]/curinfo; if you aren't sure where it is on your system, "amgetconf jet1 infofile" will tell you.)
