Hi all

I have added a new server to my DLE and I need to exclude a few
directories from a addition server.

I have in place a exclude list in /usr/local/lib/amanda.exclude.gtar
This works for my main backup server (myserver) which acts as the index
and tape server.
How do I add a entry like ./local/Backups for addition server and
exclude I have added ./local/Backups but this didn't prevent it from
being excluded.

I have the new server in DLE as secondserver.co.co.uk

disklist file:
# Main Server myserver/ partition backup
myserver.cd.co.uk  / root-tar

# hostname  diskname or mountpoint dumptype # mounted as. 

myserver.co.co.uk  /home root-tar # /home
myserver.co.co.uk  /share root-tar # /share
myserver.co.co.uk  /projects root-tar # /projects
myserver.co.co.uk  /backup root-tar # /backup
myserver.co.co.uk  /tmp root-tar # /tmp
myserver.co.co.uk  /var root-tar # /var
myserver.co.co.uk  /data root-tar # /data

# Remote backup of secondserver email server
secondserver.co.co.uk / root-tar # backup second/ dir and sub dir's

exclude.gtar file
