What I'm really looking for is a way for certain users to manage their own backups. Is this the wrong way to go about it? Chris

It is not necessary to use template unless you want to back all the folders using the same snapshot.

Re: ZWC template not applying as expected
Well, Google turned up this: http://forums.zmanda.com/showthread.php?t=2588 But trying to apply it to my DLE results in an "Invalid disk list entry. For taking backup of a single file use templates." Sort of ironic considering I *am* trying to use a template. ;-) On Tue, Jun 8, 2010 at 1:17 PM, Brian Cuttler wrote: > > Chris, > > Glad I was able to help.

A look at a tcpdump does show that the diskdevice in the DLE is passed to the zwc and the next piece of traffic is the estimated size of the backup of that device. So template.txt appears to be ignored. It seems that if it is not meant to be used it should be removed from the community version or at least documented as such. > > My (unix based) dislist files contain dle's that look like > foo c:/database-backups zwc-compress > foo c:/users-data1 zwc-compress > foo c:/users-data2 zwc-compress > > Rather than a template that contains the 3 entries. This is what I have resorted to for the time being as well. Thanks for the response. Kind Regards, Chris
Re: ZWC template not applying as expected
Chris, I'd puzzeled over that too. I believe that the templates are for amanda servers, you are only running the client and the tempate is never used for anything. My (unix based) dislist files contain dle's that look like foo c:/database-backups zwc-compress foo c:/users-data1 zwc-compress foo c:/users-data2 zwc-compress Rather than a template that contains the 3 entries.

ZWC template not applying as expected
I have a template setup in ZWC which contains the single entry: "C:\Documents and Settings". The corresponding DLE is: foo.bar.com "c:" zwc-compress The problem is that Amanda then backs up the entire C drive rather than just the "Documents and Settings" folder. What is it I'm missing? Kind Regards, Chris
