Hi all,
I have a similar goal in mind. I am backing up mailboxes and want to
avoid manually adding a DLE for any newly added mail account. I rely on
cron more than on my memory.
My intent was also to keep things modular. I would like to have a
dedicated disklist for every possible autogenerated set of DLEs. Say,
one for mailboxes, another one for sites, user homes... Hence the
initial question.
Anyway, the issue is solved. I know that multiple includefile stanzas
are not possible with amanda-3.3.3 in rhel7.
Thank you for your help,
Nikolai

Related to that - one of my servers has to deal with a large number of samba
shares across a couple of zfs partitions, the list of zfs mount points changes
are shares are added (regularly) or removed (infrequently).
I have a script that removes all of the entries, generates a new list of mount
points from # zfs list, formats them, appends them to the static part of the
file.
So Debra's suggestion seems reasonable and doable to me, if you can't just
leave the fluctuating list as an include.

Subject: Re: includefile in disklist
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
