Hi,
I have the same issue and what I do is create exclude lists for Windows
clients. That way you can exclude entire directories and certain files.
Specify them in amanda.conf . For example:
define dumptype always-full-winpc29 {
global
compress server fast
exclude list "/usr/local/etc/amanda/fulldaily/winpc29exclude"
}
The exclude list is in the winpc29exclude file, which is a list of files
and/or directories.
Of course all this only works when using tar (not dump).
