Amanda-specific information
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
Backing up these temporary files is not useful, so you can add them to the exclude list: /etc/amanda/DailySet1/index/*.gz.tmp
