 |
|
I am trying to make a backup of my file system like so:
| Code: | | tar -vczpf --exclude=dev/* --exclude=proc/* --exclude=sys/* --exclude=media/* --exclude=home/*/.gvfs/* / /media/Backups/`hostname`.tar.gz |
But tar keeps printing this:
| Code: | tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
tar (child): --exclude=dev/*: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
/
/boot/
/boot/lost+found/
/boot/grub/
/boot/grub/memrw.mod
/boot/grub/ata.mod
tar: --exclude=dev/*: Cannot write: Broken pipe
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now |

tar -vczpf /media/Backups/`hostname`.tar.gz / --exclude=dev/* --exclude=proc/* --exclude=sys/* --exclude=media/* --exclude=home/*/.gvfs/*
