Scenario -
Backup server: borg
Two drives - source from hda backed up by amanda to hdb.
Requirement: /home, less directories /home/anne/Photos
and /home/anne/recordings.
The two excluded directories run as separate jobs, and cycle correctly. The
main /home directory is approx. 24GB long, but after the excludes only about
6 GB. /tmp/dumps is an 11GB directory designated as holding disk. I want to
save the backups onto vtapes that are suitable size for copying to DVD.

/home/amanda.exclude:
./anne/recordings
./anne/Photos

So the file "/home/amanda.exclude" is on the client.
But I cannot find where you specify it to use as "exclude list" in the
dumptype. Or did you specify that in the disklist entry itself,
(which you did not post).
From amanda.conf:
[...]
define tapetype HARD-DISK {
comment "WD 120GB drive hdb6"
lbl-templ "/usr/local/etc/amanda/Daily/3hole.ps"
length 4100 mbytes # will burn to DVD
}
define dumptype global {
comment "Global definitions"
index yes
# record no
tape_splitsize 400 Mb
# split_diskbuffer "/tmp/dumps"
fallback_splitsize 100m
maxpromoteday 1
}
**********
There is only dumptype "global"????
What dumptype have you specified in the disklist?
It looks to me as though it is not attempting to span the vtapes. Can someone
please point me at the likely cause? I did have spanning working at one
time, so I must have inadvertently changed something vital.
What is the output of "amadmin Daily disklist /home"?
Is there a line: exclude list "/home/amanda.exclude" ?
Are there parameters like "tapesplit_size" that you added in your global
section?
