I have a filesystem called /export/comm. In this filesystem I have 
./ftppub/site/mirrors which has a lot files and take a long time to backup at 
level 0.

Since this mirror directory can be rebuilt from the master site I have decided 
to not backup the mirrors with Amanda.

My question is how do I exclude the mirror directory?

zada  /export/zada.export.com  /export/comm  {
      remote-tar
      exclude "./ftppub/site/mirrors"
} -1 enet100

Per the zmanda documentation for amanda.conf(5) it says that the exclude  "must 
start with "./" and contain no other "/"."

Is this possible and if so how does one do this.

Thanks
