I've created a tar archive of my entire system, but I want to exclude everything in /proc , /usr/ports, and the FILE /usr/backup.tar when updating the archive. I've tried:
1. cd / && tar -vu --file /usr/backup.tar * --exclude=/proc --exclude=/usr/ports --exclude=/usr/backup.tar 2. cd / && tar -vu --file /usr/backup.tar * --exclude=/proc/* --exclude=/usr/ports/* --exclude=/usr/backup.tar 3. cd / && tar -vu -X /root/nodump --file /usr/backup.tar * and in /root/nodump I have 3 lines: /proc # Also tried /proc/* /usr/ports # Also tried /usr/ports/* /usr/backup.tar However, in all three examples, /proc , /usr/ports, and the FILE get updated. What am I missing?
