What files or directories shoud I ignore when doing a tar backup? So far my include list is: /etc /usr/home /usr/local/etc /usr/src/sys/i386/conf /var/log /root /.profile /.cshrc And my exclude list is /root/.netscape/cache /etc/fstab /etc/mtree /etc/isdn /etc/uucp /usr/local/etc/codepages/ Planning to create a separate tar just for /usr/local How about /var? should I backup all of it? Among the thing I already now which will need to be excluded is the postgreSQL "/base" directory. Other than that not aware of any directory in /usr/local/ that will need to be excluded.
