Given that NBU 3.4 doesn't do bare metal recovery, and instead requires that
you manually re-install your OS, what directories do most people put in
their exclude lists?
   I've thought of the following already for my Solaris 2.6 systems:
      /proc
      /tmp
      /cdrom
      /home (we put home directories elsewhere), /net/vol, and /xfn. Do
other people have favorites? How about /dev, /devices, /kernel, and /vol? I
just don't want to bother backing up stuff that I wouldn't want to restore!
   Thanks for any suggestions.
