Hi,

  I have a DNS server running in BIND. I executed to take backup of 
configuration and zone files as below and its working fine.

# /bin/tar -pczvf named.tar.gz /etc/ /var/named 
--exclude='/var/named/chroot/var/named/data' --exclude='/var/named/chroot/proc'

But what happens is when i executed below command to restore the backup on the 
freshly OS installed machine under /root directory, command is excecuted 
successfully but what i found that there is a directory called /etc and /var 
created under /root as below

drwxr-xr-x 91 root root      12288 Jun 18 07:50 etc
-rw-r--r--  1 root root    7390955 Jun 19 05:04 named.tar.gz
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root       4096 Jun 19 15:54 var




You should learn to how to use tar correctly.
maybe 'man tar' or 'tar --help' give you the info.

The authors of tar were partial to info over man.  Try:

info tar

There is alot more information in the info pages than man pages for tar.

Plus the original poster needs to learn how to use the command line a lot better.
