Hi,

As far as I've been reading here and in the docs, I would have to set up dumptypes using tar and exclude lists. I would somehow backup /home/[a-c]*, /home/[d-f]* and so on.

But that doesn't seem to be a good solution. I would have to create 10 different dumptypes and 10 exclude lists to get it going from a-z and for /home itselfe in case there are directories/files created that have other names than those starting with a-z.

There must be some better way ...

srv1    /homes/a        comp-user-tar 1
srv1    /homes/b        comp-user-tar 1
srv1    /homes/c        comp-user-tar 1
[...etc...]
srv1    /homes/z        comp-user-tar 1
srv1    /homes {
        comp-user-tar
        exclude append "./[a-z]"
        } 1

No need to define a proper dumptype for every exclusion under the sun.
