I attempted this and it appears to not have worked. I'm not sure why. Here is the relevant portion of my DLEs:
fileserver "/netdrives/CAMPUS/af" "/netdrives/CAMPUS" { comp-tar include "./[a-f]*" estimate server } fileserver "/netdrives/CAMPUS/gl" "/netdrives/CAMPUS" { comp-tar include "./[g-l]*" estimate server } fileserver "/netdrives/CAMPUS/mr" "/netdrives/CAMPUS" { comp-tar include "./[m-r]*" estimate server } fileserver "/netdrives/CAMPUS/sz" "/netdrives/CAMPUS" { comp-tar include "./[s-z]*" estimate server } Here are the corresponding lines from amreport for the last backup run: fileserver:/netdrives/CAMPUS/af 0 1k dump done (5:28:16), waiting for writing to tape fileserver:/netdrives/CAMPUS/gl 0 1k dump done (5:28:11), waiting for writing to tape fileserver:/netdrives/CAMPUS/mr 0 1k dump done (5:28:06), waiting for writing to tape fileserver:/netdrives/CAMPUS/sz 0 1k dump done (5:27:11), waiting for writing to tape Kind regards, Chris
