; Solution : The dump-binary can only handle filesystems. It cannot dump sub-directories only. Use GNU-tar as the backup/restore method for DLEs that are subdirectories inside of a mounted filesystem.
 
Choose the dump-program by setting the parameter "program" which can have one of the two values
 
program [DUMP|GNUTAR]
 
If you use GNU-tar you may define a DLE like
 
backupclient /home root-tar
 
If you use DUMP you should define your DLE like
 
backupclient hda4 root-tar
 
Also refer to the manpage of amanda.conf and the commented template-file inside of the AMANDA-tarball.
