Try this:

                  }  1
... etc etc ...
prometheus   /home/ALL_z   /home  {
                      tar-dfault-no-x
                      include "./z*"
                  }  1
prometheus   /home/REST    /home  {
                      tar-dfault-no-x
                      exclude append "./[a-z]*"
                   }  1

The following does _not_ work as it should:


prometheus      /share_dbvnr /share {
  tar-dfault
  include "./db-vnr"
}       1

prometheus      /share_edv /share {
  tar-dfault
  include "./edv"
}       1

prometheus      /share_programs /share {
  tar-dfault
  include "./programs"
}       1

prometheus      /share_rest /share {
  tar-dfault
  exclude append "./cpc ./cs ./data ./db-vnr ./edv ./programs"
}       1

How do I catch the rest?


It does work for backing up /home:


[...]
prometheus /home_y /home {
  tar-dfault
  include "./y*"
}       1

prometheus /home_z /home {
  tar-dfault
  include "./z*"
}       1

prometheus /home_rest /home {
  tar-dfault
  exclude append "./[a-z]*"
}       1

dumper: FATAL error [dumper PORT-DUMP: too many args: 19 != 12]

How can I find out what causes the problem with the arguments?
