Re:One DLE too many!

Hi All,
I have been using Amanda (current version 2.4.4p3) for the last
couple of years without any major issues. However recently due to an
influx of new projects the volume of data has grown. What is
happening is that users are adding new directories to the data
servers and not notified me. So all of a sudden some of my DLEs
which have been merrily archiving have started to exceed my available
tape capacity. I have toyed with the idea of using tar excludes to
address this issue, unless I am missing something would I have to
create a separate DumpType for each DLE?
For better illustrate the issue for the following DLE they added the
40G Nova Scotia Photos directory. I was planning on breaking up the
DLE listed below into 8 individual entries but that may lead to
problems of handling the directories with whitespaces in their
names. If I was just dealing with a few DLEs separating them into
smaller chunks would not be an issue, however I have already
fragmented my data into 240 + DLEs.
hal /mnt/data06/Deforest3 comp-user-tar 87
hal:/mnt/data06# du -h --max-depth=1 Deforest3
248K Deforest3/AirPhoto Load Tool
40G Deforest3/Nova Scotia Photos
2.7G Deforest3/delivery
1.8G Deforest3/NS_Oblique_Aerials
6.4G Deforest3/Imagery
17M Deforest3/Received
1.6M Deforest3/Quality Control
28G Deforest3/NAPL
78G Deforest3
Any suggestion of how best to deal with this situation is greatly appreciated.
