I am trying to create a tar backup script.
I have two hard drives--a system drive and a data drive. The path to the data drive is /storage. Following this post, I went to the root of my filesytem and executed the following command:
tar cvpzf backup.tgz --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/backup.tgz --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys --exclude=/storage /
Note that I excluded the data drive (--exclude=/storage) from the backup.
I use a variant of the simple script below from the Community Ubuntu Documentation described
tar -cvpzf backup.tar.gz --exclude=/backup.tar.gz --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/sys --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/media --exclude=/dev /
I used it again on Ubuntu 12.04 and I saw some files from the /run being skipped by the script.
I have a old laptop I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on.

Hi,
One of the system that I have has lot of disk errors. To be safe, I want to backup the system in case of disaster. To backup the system, I did this tar command but it's also doing the NFS mount on the system. Please advice, how to exclude all the NFS mount point, and only tar the system itself.
Afternoon All,I am trying to backup a partition on my laptop to a connected external hdd. I would also like to exclude two directories.Using rsync I've triedrsync -av /Stuff/ /media/disk/backup --exclude=/Stuff/Dropbox --exclude=/Stuff/OSsThis will rsync but does not exclude the two folders.
