Hi,

I have two machines in the same Ethernet segment.

Machine #1 have a DAT unit, and mounts (via NFS) Machine #2 filesystems at
/server2

To backup both machines I am using

tar -cSPM --totals \
--exclude "/dev/*" \
--exclude "/proc/*" \
--exclude "/var/*" \
--exclude "/server2/dev/*" \
--exclude "/server2/proc/*"  \
--exclude "/server2/var/*" \
/ /server2

It works, but the symbolic links from /server2 are not saved in the backup
tape.

What am I doing wrong? Is there a better solution?
