Thank you for the answers.
I have one more question/problem: I have several partitions that are
not being dumped. The device/directory/include specifications in DLE
is not yet very clear to me. I have a root partition (/) where the OS
is installed, as well as IMAP accounts at /var/spool/imap/user/. I
need to split the accounts, so I did something like:
omni /var/spool/imap/user/ag /var/spool/imap/user {
comment "omni mail accounts a-g"
include file "./[a-g]*"
global
}
[...]
omni /var/spool/imap/user/uz /var/spool/imap/user {
comment "omni mail accounts u-z and the rest"
exclude file "./[a-t]*"
global
}
I'm assuming the include file specification is relative to the
/var/spool/imap/user. Is it not? Do I have to specify
"./var/spool/imap/user/[a-t]*" instead? However, there is a disturbing
sentence in the amanda man page:
"All include expression are expanded by amanda and concatenated in
one file and passed to gnutar as a --files-from argument. They must
start with "./" and containing no other "/"."
What does it mean exactly? Strings like "./var/spool/imap/user/[a-t]*"
are not accepted in includes?
Cheers,
Rodrigo
