I have a large usb harddisk with a 60GB freebsd slice that I want to use to backup the FreeBSD 5.4 installation on my laptop once in a while. I think that tar is the right tool for this purpuse. Now I ask: What directories do *** NOT *** require to be backed up? I know this is the case of /tmp but what about /dev? and /var? Ciao Vittorio=20
