Hi to all

My problems went away when i upgraded from 2.4.3b3 to 2.4.4; The only
thing that doesn't seem to work well is the 'excludes' directive in the
disklist file. Otherwise than that seems than the backup is doing fine:

I will need to check the files with amrestore to make sure they went
fine.

Any other suggestions about what i should check (i read than a backup of
size 64 will indicate an error when done with SBM).

Thanks in advance,

JV
