Hi Debra,
thanks for the suggestion! In the end, this is what I did.
(
cat disklist.manual
generator_of_other_DLEs
) > disklist
Not a big issue, it is the same script as before with a slight
modification. I am happy amanda now works, though knowing the
limitations of disklist and reading that in amanda manuals would be
(have been) really helpful and time-saving.
Thanks again and best regards,
Nikolai Krot

So, it seems that amanda can only do ONE include file (just from your
experimental evidence; I’m not an expert on that, so I”m not answering that
question).
How about having your code, which generates the AUTO list, start by making a
copy of the MANUAL list, and append
the auto entries at the end of that file? New every day, but including a
copy of the fixed list at the beginning.

Hallo
Sorry, I should have included version info. So, I am using amanda 3.3.3, from
rhel7.
And yes, the DLEs are unique.
I experimented with changing the order of includefile directives and found out
that the last one always wins.
Thanks in advance,

Hello,
What version of amanda are you using?
Is the combined disklist composed of only unique entries?
Thanks,

Hi list members,
My question is how to combine in a single disklist file definitions of DLE and
includefile directives. Seems that this is impossible. I tried the following
cases:
### case 1 that worked
disklist contains only DLE entries of the form
server.domain.com /etc comp-root-tar
server.domain.com /var/www comp-root-tar
Result: everything works fine
### case 2, that did not work
I wanted to add more DLEs to the abive disklist by including them from an
automatically generated file
server.domain.com /etc comp-root-tar
server.domain.com /var/www comp-root-tar
includefile "disklist.auto"
Result: only entries from included disklist.auto work (and reported by amadmin
CONFIG disklist)
### case 3, again, no luck
I thought that mixing two types of entries is not possible and extracted case 1
into disklist.manual. Now my disklist is
includefile "disklist.manual"
includefile "disklist.auto"
Result: again, only disklist.auto works. Only the last of included files works
### WTF?
I reread the disklist manual and found an interesting clause
< The disklist file determines which disks will be backed up by Amanda. The
file contains includefile directive or disklist entry (DLE).
so.. literally, only *one* includefile directive xor DLEs. Do I understand it
correctly? Is it a kind of a joke or there is a reason behind this design?
Best regards,
Nikolai Krot
