Hi,
amanda told you the problem:
samba does not support a exclude list in conjunction with amanda.

for backups using samba you can only define a single file to exclude.

Hi

I have enabled the exclude list on the amanda.conf file and i am backing
up windows folders through samba.

My Dumptype is

define dumptype root-tar {
    global
    program "GNUTAR"
    comment "root partitions dumped with tar"
    compress none
    index
    exclude list "/usr/local/etc/amanda/exclude/exclude"
    priority low
}

Can any one help me in fixing the below error

[amanda@indus amanda]$ amcheck DailySet1
