Thank you for the answers.

I have one more question/problem: I have several partitions that are
not being dumped. The device/directory/include specifications in DLE
is not yet very clear to me. I have a root partition (/) where the OS
is installed, as well as IMAP accounts at /var/spool/imap/user/. I
need to split the accounts, so I did something like:

omni /var/spool/imap/user/ag /var/spool/imap/user {
  comment "omni mail accounts a-g"
  include file "./[a-g]*"
  global
}
[...]
omni /var/spool/imap/user/uz /var/spool/imap/user {
  comment "omni mail accounts u-z and the rest"
  exclude file "./[a-t]*"
  global
}

I'm assuming the include file specification is relative to the
/var/spool/imap/user. Is it not? Do I have to specify
"./var/spool/imap/user/[a-t]*" instead? However, there is a disturbing
sentence in the amanda man page:

   "All include expression are expanded by amanda and concatenated in
   one file and passed to gnutar as a --files-from argument. They must
   start with "./" and containing no other "/"."

What does it mean exactly? Strings like "./var/spool/imap/user/[a-t]*"
are not accepted in includes?

Cheers,

Rodrigo
