Hi, I want in FreeBSD RELEASE 5.2.1 tar a complete / system except one directory e.g. /mnt where I want to store the tar archive. In linux I do:
cd / tar cvzf /mnt/root.bak-$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.gz . --exclude=proc --exclude=mnt Trying this in FreeBSD is not accepted because tar is still trying to tar the /mnt directory and the to be made archive. What I am doing wrong?
