About one year ago, i've set up an amanda configuration that do level 0 backup everyday, using dump program (i haven't changed the default options).

It was all ok, because i backup entire filesystem.
But now, i have to exclude some folder, because they contains temp data and make backup larger than tape.

- Can i switch to gnutar program? With gnutar i can exclude folder…
- All previous backup will be always readable?
- Is there a diffenrence between two programs (compression, speed, indexing…)? Or they are equivalent?
- is there a way to exclude folder with dump? (i suspect there isn't…)


Thanks in advance.

Giovanni
