What are the switches and file-list you're passing [g]tar?

Are you OK with disk space? Presumably 'yes', but then: is the size of the
backup what you expected, when it runs properly? (I was setting up a
simple, scripted backup with 'cpio' this week, and I filled /tmp, which
pretty much stopped the action, including restarting X11.

Just a couple of thoughts ...
