Hi again

Thus I assume that I can use my current path on the tape/index server.
/usr/local/lib/amanda/exclude.gtar and just create the path and
exclude.gtar file on client and when the main tape/index server runs the
backup will also exclude that same path and exclude.gtar file on the
addition server.

Cheers
