Hi,

Right now I am using amanda for a few different linux servers. My disklists 
use the directories where different partitions are mounted. This has been 
working pretty well, but I read somewhere that one can get even better 
results by breaking things up to as many small directories as one can. This 
makes sense to me, as it will allow amanda to schedule different level 
backups the best she can even if it makes things perhaps more difficult to 
keep track of.

So I collected on each client the names of the harddrives for it.

find / -type d -fprintf ~/amandalist "`hostname -f`\t\t%p\tcomp-user-tar\n"

and I have an idea to exclude all subdirectories in the dumptype, but then I 
run into the problem of users creating and removing their own subdirectories 
and then dealing with those. Do people who advocate this sort of setup 
generate their disklist each time they run amanda? or do they not have to 
deal with this problem? What is the best use of gtar?

Many thanks,
- --
