During the backup process Amanda will create some temporary files. These files can cause strange results:
? gtar: ./etc/amanda/DailySet1/index/hostname/_/20101206010001_0.gz.tmp: Warning: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
And if a host has multiple DLEs on different spindles:
? gtar: ./var/lib/amanda/gnutar-lists/hostname_path_0.new: Warning: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
Backing up these temporary files is not useful, so you can add them to the exclude list:
/etc/amanda/DailySet1/index/*.gz.tmp /var/lib/amanda/gnutar-lists/*.new
