Hello,


I am backing up Solaris hosts, and I want to use Amanda and
GNUtar to do it, but I am a bit confused about how (in)flexible 
exclude lists are with GNUtar ..

Currently, I have the server set up to back itself up, I have
an exclude.gtar file, and I am backing up the / and /usr/local
slices.

Is there any way I can have one exclude.gtar for /, and one
for /usr/local ? For example, I may want /etc and not
/usr/local/etc, or vice versa and the exclude list would
look at both as an entry for "etc".

Or am I going about this the wrong way?



Thanks,
Rob
