Silly question, can an include be added to an amanda-exclude file. I.e., is there a syntax to say "exclude this everything under this directory except for FuBar".
The backstory: My mailserver has a quarantine directory (QD) for spam and virus containing mail. This QD directory is listed in the amanda-excudes file at the root of the DLE. Who wants to backup spam and viruses. I have developed several scripts for dealing with the collected spam and as they were of no use except in the QD, I made a QD/.bin directory to hold them. Stupidly I never considered the QD/.bin directory would not be backed up (due to the amanda-excludes entry) nor that I might moronically delete the QD/.bin contents. As I redevelop the scripts, I'll put them in a relocated bin directory. But I just wonder if there was some way to address this in an amanda-excludes file. I doubt it. Jon -- Jon H.
