Mike,
If you are using Amanda 2.4.3 or greater, you can specify the exclude
directories in your disk list, like so:
#Host Directory Options
mis3.sbsalaska.com /home/amv {
program "GNUTAR"
exclude append "./mp3"
exclude append "./ogg"
} 1
Then run 'amadmin <config> disklist <host> <directory>' to check the
config:
# amadmin gemini disklist mis3.sbsalaska.com /home/amv
line 2:
host mis3.sbsalaska.com:
interface default
disk /home/amv:
program "GNUTAR"
exclude file "./mp3" "./ogg" <--- Note the exclude list.
priority 1
dumpcycle 7
maxdumps 10
maxpromoteday 10000
strategy STANDARD
compress CLIENT FAST
comprate 0.50 0.50
auth BSD
kencrypt NO
holdingdisk YES
record YES
index NO
skip-incr NO
skip-full NO
Good luck!
