I ran into this problem trying to exclude "Program Files" and others from
backups.  One trick I found was to point to the entire drive as a share (C$)
and deny the backup user access (requires NTFS) to the folders I do not want
backed up.  That might be worth a shot.

Subject: back up a window folder

hi,

We have a Solaris server that runs Amanda server on it.
I was successfully able to backup a window folder into it - using smbclient.
However, most of the folders I have to backup have names with spaces (aca
C:/hello Visual folder/).
Any idea on how can I backup those folder? (unfortunately I can't change the
folder's name).
I wrote the folder name with single quote double quote in the disklist file.
But it did not work and amanda complained after running amcheck: # undefined
dumptype `Visual'
Is there a way to work around folder's names with spaces?

Many thanks,
gil
