You have no path element 'd'. 'felix/d*' will work. You must see it as a glob matcher for each word, but you don't nedd to specify all word, that's why 'felix/' match your 2 disk. Ok, now I've got it. I've read the 'HOST DISK EXPRESSION' section in amanda(8), but I guess the old substring matching from 2.4.2 was still in my mind.

Right, it will work with a long dumporder-string but I will appreciate if you can test my patch. Ok, tested with too short dumporder-string and no warnings in logfile.

amanda-2.4.3b1 / dumporder warning
Hi, I've tried the new amanda-2.4.3b1, with a amanda.conf file which had the new keywords (dumporder autoflush) in it, taken from example/amanda.conf. Int the logfile and the report, there are many lines saying | WARNING driver Unknown dumporder character ' The dumporder line in amanda.conf is: | dumporder sssS # specify the priority order of each dumper Any ideas why this warning is shown?

Grmbl. May be this happens because I have 'inparallel 5' and so 'dumporder' should be 5 chars long. I'll try that tomorrow. Regards, Lipo -- They that can give up essential liberty | Roland E.

Re: 'exclude' with samba-backups
Eric Wadsworth [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm just starting out, but I understood that excludes didn't work with samba shares when using GNUTAR. I've been working around that limitation, AFAIK exclude works with samba in 2.4.2 but didn't work in 2.4.1p1. The results of my backups verify this. certainly open to suggestions... if the excludes actually work on samba shares, let me know! As said above they seem to work, but I can use only one expression for exclusion per share; I wasn't successful in trying to exclude more than one expression, neither by exclude-file, nor by a list of expressions.
