Here is a script I use to backup my linux system:
#!/bin/sh
MEDIUM=/mnt/dmzserv/share/mark/BACKUP/webserver
echo "Creating system backup on $MEDIUM as dmz2-sys-backup-<date>.tar.gz..."
tar -zcvpf $MEDIUM/dmz2-sys-backup-`date '+%d-%B-%Y'`.tar.gz \
--directory / --exclude=mnt --exclude=proc --exclude=share .
echo "...done"
This creates a system backup starting in "/", excluding mnt, proc and
share, with the file name including the date.
