Not a great explanation, but the best I can do on short notice.
Thanks for trying, but im still stuck.
Now i have tried ...
/home/blom/05
/home/blom/Mail
Wrong/.
and
./05
./Mail
The above format is the correct one.
Are you sure the exlude file is found?
e.g. one of the frequent mistakes is that you put
the exclude file on the server instead of the client.
If you use amanda 2.4.3 or above, then you can put exclude patterns
in the disklist file (yes on the server!) with the following
syntax:
your.server /home/blom/05 normal-backup 1
your.server /home/blom/Mail normal-backup 1
your.server /home/blom {
normal-backup
exclude append "./05"
exclude append "./Mail"
} 1
your.server /home {
normal-backup
exclude "./blom"
} 1
It has the advantage that you have only one place (the server)
where you have to maintain the exclude list.
(I did it like that, and it certainly works, or I couldn't get my
18 GByte filesystem on a 4 GByte tape with my old drive and config.)
