Hello everyone, I would like to backup my system minus some dirs.
I print to a file the files/dirs i'd like to skip mount /dev/hda1 /boot find /proc > /tar.test.txt find /exports >> /tar.test.txt tar -cvjpsPf -X /tar.test.txt / /exports/backup-full-090303.tar.bz2 But when the archive starts the specified dirs are included :) I hope to use this for compiling a optimised i686/athlon-xp base to be used for my own rapid deployment. Also I've noticed the archives in /usr/portage/distfiles/*.tbz2 or tar.bz2 I was hoping I could tar these and extract to the fresh base for a little bandwith savings.
