Yes, that's what I'm doing. The problem with this is that something easily
gets left out as new directories are created.
I'm late to this conversation, but I don't think it is possible to
leave out any new directories with a scheme like this:
define dumptype diskA-TheRest {
comp-user-tar #or other local globally defined TAR dumptype
exclude list "/diskA/diskA.exclude"
}
on client, /diskA/diskA.exclude contains:
fred
sally
sam
tom
on server, disklist:
client.fqdn /diskA diskA-TheRest #excludes fred,sally,sam,tom
client.fqdn /diskA/fred comp-user-tar
client.fqdn /diskA/sally comp-user-tar
client.fqdn /diskA/sam comp-user-tar
client.fqdn /diskA/tom comp-user-tar
(a) when remembered, add a new directory by
editting "disklist" (explicitly
add deb and "client:/diskA/diskA.exclude" explicitly exclude deb
(b) when forgotten, new directory is already included in the
"diskA-TheRest" because you haven't explicitly excluded it.
