Am I the only one to find this setup needlessly error prone and complicated?
Would amanda automatically create appropriate exclude entries from its DLE
information, all this would be greatly simplified.
For example, with this set of DLE entries:
/share/
/share/financial
/share/financial/company-a
/share/financial/company-b
/share/reports
amanda should automatically create following exclude entries:
DLE exclude entry
--------------------------------------------
/share ./financial ./reports
/share/financial ./company-a ./company-b
With this, the whole described procedure would be reduced just to add a
directory to the disklist. No more risk to get the "catch all" entry wrong.
Interesting idea.
That would mean that the estimate phase should be smart enough (may
be add an option "autosplit" for those DLE's where you want that) to
pick a few large subdirectories out and then split the DLE dynamically.
We could change "calcsize" for this.
