I am looking for a quick backup solution for my freebsd machine. Currently I
backup to a DDS-4 DAT drive using the following while in "/":

 

tar -cf /dev/sa0 -I /root/includes -X /root/excludes .

 

I am aware of bacula, Amanda, cpio, and dump but to me tar is the ideal
method so if anyone had a simple script to automate this process I would
greatly appreciate some help in making my own.

 

Thanks again, you guys are great!!

 

Joe
