Hello!

I just tried to add our Windows server to our Amanda backup.
Basically everything is working, the nightly dump fails
because of "dumps way to big".

I want to backup this disklist entry:

hugo10.ka.punkt.de      //hugo11/c$     samba-tar

The samba-tar definition looks like this:

define dumptype samba-tar {
    root-tar
    comment "user partitions dumped with tar"
    priority medium
    exclude "./Virtual Machines"
}

Obviously this does *not* correctly exclude the "Virtual Machines"
directory on drive C:, because otherwise the dumps would definitely
fit on the tape.

How to specify exclusions if one is using Samba? The above syntax
I tried is correct for Unix hosts with gnutar, but I could not
find an example for Windows.

Thanks,
