During the backup process Amanda will create some temporary files. These files can cause strange results on the Amanda server:
? gtar: ./etc/amanda/DailySet1/index/hostname/_/20101206010001_0.gz.tmp: Warning: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
And if an Amanda client has multiple DLEs on different spindles this can appear in the results:
? 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. This is the exclude list for Amanda servers:
/etc/amanda/DailySet1/index/*.gz.tmp
On Amanda clients these files can be excluded:
/var/lib/amanda/gnutar-lists/*.new
If your Amanda server is also a client combine the two lists:
/etc/amanda/DailySet1/index/*.gz.tmp /var/lib/amanda/gnutar-lists/*.new
