i'm using amanda backup 2.4.3b3, and am setup with smbclient to backup some NT4 and 2K workstations.. I'm running into the problem that smbclient is returning errors for open files, such as pagefile.sys, and a few other files that I want to ignore in backups.
since smbclient doesn't allow for 'exclude list "filename"', i'm stuck with 'exclude file "file"' smbclient appears to allow for multiple files at the end of the command, but when I put this in my dumptype: exclude file "pagefile.sys WINNT/Profiles WINNT/system32/config" all backups fail with the message like: staff //client1/C$ lev 0 FAILED [badly formatted response from staff] staff //client2/C$ lev 0 FAILED [badly formatted response from staff] I think this is something that will have to get fixed with code in amanda, or is there a proper (not documented currently) way of passing multiple files to a samba client? -ben
