1) Report sucessful completion - The quick and dirty way to do that is to run

I'm using tar to do nightly backups. I would like to get some useful
information out of it to put in a log file. I would like to know if the
backup completed successfully, how big the backup was and what files had
to be excluded. Does anyone have any ideas?
