Hi,

Thanks! Good to know the world is moving in the right direction :)

When I see the package updated to amanda-3.3.5, I will refactor my configs. Added a TODO for indefinite future.

Hi,

Not sure if this is going to help you but my tests with amanda-3.3.5
show that multiple "includefile" stanzas work, along with or without
inline DLEs.

My "test" uses the command "/opt/amanda/sbin/amadmin <conf> disklist"
and checks that its output corresponds to the content of the disklist
and the includefiles.

So all the following disklist files seem to behave as expected:

1-  one inline DLE + 1x includefile:

client /disk1 app-amgtar
includefile "duh-disklist-1"

2-  one DLE + 2x includefiles:

client /disk1 app-amgtar
includefile "duh-disklist-1"
includefile "duh-disklist-2"

3-  only includefiles:

client /disk1 app-amgtar
includefile "duh-disklist-1"
includefile "duh-disklist-2"

cheers,
jf

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,
Nikolai Krot

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
