If I backup the root (/) disk with the DUMP program, I know it will
not backup mounted file systems under /.

But if I use GNUTAR ? Is it intelligent enough to skip mounted file systems ?

Otherwise, I don't see how I could backup a root file system with
gnutar without having to exclude all mounted file systems directories.

Thanks
