Uh, oh. I just realized something from a previous posting. You said you saw this: GNUTAR //winhost/profiles 0 1970:1:1:0:0:0 1 exclude-list=/etc/amanda/exclude.gtar That's not going to work. You're passing an exclusion **file** to do a PC (smbclient/smbtar) backup. Samba only supports a

... the funny thing is that one of the 'disks' on the backup server insists on adding an exclude-list in the REQ packet, even though it is not configured to do so in the dumptype ... You're right, that's very odd. What do you get if you run amadmin config disklist box? That should dump the

What do you get if you run amadmin config disklist box? the listing for that disk is identical to the others (so says 'uniq' and me eyeballs). i'll check to see that it isn't some weird side-effect from just changing the config file (ie, wait what amandad's debug file says tomorrow morning).

i'm on debian, so i used 'apt-get source --compile amanda'. i am not immediately sure how to integrate user patches into the process ... 'fraid I wouldn't know anything about that either. Why not just build Amanda yourself? It's not hard. ... is this a patch that segments the request into

ok, so it *is* the case that the UDP packet is hitting the 2.4.1 8k limit, but this seems to be due to amanda sending out two lines for backups for each disk, one with the UTC origin date (1970), and the other the apparently valid request. here's a pair of lines: GNUTAR //winhost/profiles 0

hello all. i've searched around and i can't seem to find too much regarding this subject. the server that runs amandad also backs itself up, and none of the shares local to the backup server, in addition to the smbclient windows shares it backs up are not being backed up due to this type of
