The Amanda operator did not have the proper permissions...  The problem 
is now fixed.

Thanks.

No.
Is the directory /store/homes/students readable by user amanda?

I can't seem to get 'amcheck' to accept your suggestion.

Here's what I have in my 'disklist':

zeus /store/homes/students/ag /store/homes/students {
    # all directories that start with [a-g]
    exclude-tar
    include "./[a-g]*"
    } 1

When I do an 'amcheck', I get this error:

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check

Should I ignore this message?

Thanx.

Hello Folks,

What are your recommendations for spliting directories with excludes 
without having to reorganize directories in a partition that I want to 
backup?

Basically, I want:

client   /foo/a*   dumptype-a
client  /foo/b*dumptype-b
.
client /foo/z*  dumptype-z


  
  
define dumptype common-stuff {

client 	FooA	/foo	{

Here's what I'm using on a 1.5TB partition /data/ma/ma1
to be backed up with an LTO1 Ultrium tape drive:

bullcalf ma1_f /data/ma/ma1/f {
high-tar
} 1

bullcalf ma1_l /data/ma/ma1/l {
high-tar
} 2

bullcalf ma1_m /data/ma/ma1/m {
high-tar
} 3

bullcalf ma1_s /data/ma/ma1/s {
high-tar
exclude append "./fil/*"
exclude append "./jen/*"
exclude append "./jorge/*"
exclude append "./karine/*"
exclude append "./repric/*"
exclude append "./sandra/*"
exclude append "./shirley/*"
} 4

bullcalf ma1_s_fil /data/ma/ma1/s/fil {
high-tar
} 5

etc for the other excluded dirs in ma1_s.

The dumptype high-tar is gnutar with no compression
and with index and record turned on. Works for me!

split disklist aphabetically

2005-05-12 Thread Luc Lalonde
Hello Folks,
What are your recommendations for spliting directories with excludes 
without having to reorganize directories in a partition that I want to 
backup?

Basically, I want:
client   /foo/a*   dumptype-a
client  /foo/b*dumptype-b
.

.
client /foo/z*  dumptype-z
Is this something that can be done?   What are the problems associated 
with this aproach?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
