Hi
I have problem in tar command
Can you help?
tar -cv --exclude /var/named/chroot/proc/* -zf backup.tar.gz /var/named
/var/named/chroot/proc/net/route /var/named/chroot/proc/net/udp /var/named/chroot/proc/net/tcp tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
"It is almost *always* wrong to pass an unquoted wildcard to tar."
Try this:
tar -cv --exclude '/var/named/chroot/proc/*' -zf backup.tar.gz /var/named
Although I suspect that:
tar -cv --exclude /var/named/chroot/proc -zf backup.tar.gz /var/named
will also work.
Thank you
