This always sends me an unwanted email with: tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
Redirect the stdout/stderr to some file:
tar cvzf /mnt/mybackup.tgz /foo /bar> /var/log/backup 2> /var/log/backuperrors
Yes Luigi, I know how to do this... but cron has the ability to send mail (I only want to see real error messages) and tar just does not behave right - no output if no error occured.
Because the exclude pattern matches under dir1 my important File is not backed up. The problem is, I cannot specify the exclude pattern to match only /tmp/foo/dir2 , can I?
It's a matter of personal taste, but I find more useful the -X (or
- --exclude-from) option
Yes, personal taste, but in crontab confusing not seeing the excludes and besides that it has the same problem.
