No question is stupid. I learned that beating my head against the wall for
long hours. :-)
/netdrives/CAMPUS/ is a path which contains users' network drives. The
level below CAMPUS contains folders which follow the naming convention of
the username of each account. ie. Chris Nighswonger would be cnighswonger
and thus /netdrives/CAMPUS/cnighswonger/ would be my related network drive.
There are somewhat less than 100 user directories. Prior to this I have
been backing them all up with a DLE which looks like this:
host "/netdrives/CAMPUS" {
comp-tar
estimate server
}
This works fine with the caveat that it results in a huge level 0 backup.
In the supplied disklist file example in Amanda's documentation
(/usr/share/doc/amanda-server/examples/disklist), I discovered the DLE form
I am currently attempting. According to the example this should limit each
DLE to backing up subdirectories of /netdrives/CAMPUS/ based on the regexp
supplied in the "include" directive.
It appears to me that something may have changed with the way Amanda
handles this since that document was written.
As Stefan points out, Amanda seems to thing that there is "nothing" to be
backed up. Furthermore, it appears that the log excerpts I posted also show
that the regexp is not being applied but that Amanda is actually looking
for specific subdirectories like /netdrives/CAMPUS/af and the like.
Maybe the DLE syntax is incorrect?
