Around 01:56am on Saturday, August 18, 2007 (UK time), Scott Ehrlich scrawled:
Trying tar cvf /mnt/samba_share/backup.tar /* eventually yields backing up /mnt, which produces an unwanted loop, including /mnt/samba_share
I looked at tar with --exclude /mnt but didn't seem to get the results I wanted.
tar cvf /mnt/samba_share/backup.tar --exclude=/mnt /*
I'd also use nfs, not samba.
