I'm using tar to do a full system backup using the following command: tar -zcvpf /usr/archive/full-backup-`date '+%d-%B-%Y'`.tar.gz \ --directory / --exclude=mnt --exclude=proc --exclude=cdrom \ --exclude=usr/ports --exclude /usr/archive . What other directories should I exclude? /usr/src? My goal is to do a system dump which can be moved off the machine and burned to CD. Total including /usr/src is about 450MB. Any suggestions to do this better. Thanks, _________________________________ Scott Gerhardt, P.Geo.
