Thanks, that looks better now :) One thing I think that is missing is an
explanation of the difference between:
include
include append
exclude
exclude append
I would guess that 'append' tells amanda something like 'you should
append this to the previous dumps of that mountpoint rather than
considering it seperate', but I don't know. Also, the self-consistency
is dubious since amanda seems to consider /home/wanda as a part of /home
--- or maybe not. It would be nice if someone could shed a light on the
logic behind that.
It merely means "append this to the previous {in,ex}clude I just gave you".
Makes for easier reading. If you did:
include ./foo
include ./bar
your include list would be "./bar" (second include overrides the first)
If you did:
include ./foo
include append ./bar
your include list would be "./foo ./bar" (second include is appended to the
first)
To be exact, the last pair of "include" stmts would be equivalent to:
include "./foo" "./bar"
Note the quotes around EACH argument.
But there is currently a bug that a space inside an exclude or include
argument is not escaped when passing those strings to the client.
So the last paragraph on that wiki page about "argument mismach" is
not about not being able to put many args on one include, but having
a space in one arg.
include "./My Documents"
would fail too. And:
include "./foo ./bar"
is actually looking for a directory named: "bar" inside the
directory "foo ." (with a trailing space and dot), at leastwhen that
bug would be fixed.
