My Plan is to make a gzipped tarball of the entire machine, excluding directories that are not necessary. If however, there is a more sound solution then tarballing a machine for a backup, Im all ears. I know rsync is a possibility, but i'd like to have just a solid, non-active archive copy of machines.
EXCLUDE DIRECTORIES ---------------------------------------------- /proc /dev /tmp /usr/ports/ /var/tmp/
What else would be safe to exclude?
Thanks, -Ben
I'd wonder if a "more sound solution" is either dump(8) or cpio(1L). That said, I do use tar(1) for /www....
