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
