This is true, but again this is in reference to a dumptype.  That 
file/list however uses the ./ convention, anchoring to the point where 
the ./name is found. Now if a user creates a directory with spaces in 
the name, you have two problems because if she/he creates a birthday 
list, iirc he will get (if he/she has permission enough to do that) a 
subdir named birthday and another named list.

I'd have a tendency to want to put such a windows user in a sandbox he 
can't get out of, but inside they can make all the mess they want.

Fortunately I'm not faced with that situation here as I am the only
real user.  There are other users registered of course but only so I can  
sandbox a local compile.

I don't think so. The exclude is a single string beginning with a ./ 
which anchors it to that directory, so anything in ./auntmary is out of 
reach. If that dle has more than one auntmary subdir, they will all be 
skipped.

Reread the comments in your amanda.conf at the start of the dumptype's 
section.

Two ideas

1) instead of trying to exclude everything you don't want,
consider including the one you do want.  That should auto-
exclude all else.

2) have a separate DLE for each directory you want.  Have
them do only full backups.  Run your amdump in such a way
that only one DLE is dumped each day.

Gene, this option is indeed defined in the dumptype for the DLE in
question, but using an "in-line" dumptype definition rather than a
separate dumptype defined in amanda.conf.  Search the disklist(5) man
page for "in-line" for more info.

(In this case you wouldn't want to have a separate dumptype defined in
your amanda.conf, because only this one partcular DLE uses that specific
exclude pattern.  For this sort of one-off use, you can just do it
in-line within the disklist file and avoid having to edit amanda.conf
for each one [and you don't have to come up with new names for all the
one-off dumptypes...].)

This doesn't resolve the question about the trailing "$", but what
happens when you try
  $ /usr/sbin/amdump  -o reserve=0 --no-taper MACHINE =/dir/subdir/name/2019
?
(That is a literal "=" in front of the final DLE path argument.)

That should turn on "exact match" mode for that DLE pattern, which
hopefully will match only the single DLE you actually want to match
here

Errm
sorry to interup this all,
but isn't the option

or

man amand.conf dosn't know the option "exclude" without being folowed by

 Hi Gene,

 The exclude here, is to exclude a subdir that are to big to go in one
backup, that's the reason I have another line in the disklist so I can
backup the exclude in next backup.

 The quotes are necessary because sometimes users put spaces in file
and dir names!!

Cheers,
Nuno

looks wrong, excludes are in the dumptype specified, in the amanda,conf 

./subdir in your exclude  s/b sufficient to block any and all access 
below that level.  and the dbl-qoutes at not needed.

All of this s/b in the dumptype section in your amanda.conf, and your 
disklist should contain only the dumptype which is then referenced to 
determine if there even is an exclude, or exclude list if more than 1 
exclude, in which case the name of the exclude list is any handy name to 
identify to you, which dumptype its to be used with.

I don't believe the disklist is scanned for any exclude info, just the 
dumptype, that is what specifies all of that profile.

Am I correct you have many DLEs in your disklist file, and if you don't
put the "MACHINE ^/dir/subdir/name/2019$" on the amdump line they all
get dumped?  (That is, the "match" is mostly is working to restrict the
DLEs dumped, only the trailing "$" is not working?)

What version of Amanda is this?

Re: ***UNCHECKED*** exact-match

2019-06-11 Thread Nuno Dias 
 Thanks, but I'm already doing that (the exclude)

This is what I have in disklist

MACHINE /dir/subdir/name/2019   {
  tar
  exclude "./subdir/*"

}

MACHINE /dir/subdir/name/2019/subdir tar

 Because this are very big directories, I want to dump only one every
time, anyone know how I can do this? 

Thanks
Nuno
