Hi,
I'm using tar for backup, but my DLEs refer to device names. For
example,
henry /dev/sda1 root-tar
henry /dev/sda2 user-tar
I'm also trying to use exclude lists, but these don't seem to be working
as I would expect them to (it looks like they're being ignored).
The question is, should I be refering to paths rather than devices when
using tar? Like this:
henry / root-tar
henry /usr user-tar
...and have an exclude file for, say, the root filesystem which ignores
all the mount points covered by the other DLEs?
Thanks!
Simon
