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
