I am preparing to backup my root drive in preparation
for installing f7. What is the best way to do this?

I have in /dev/hda as:

/boot = /dev/hda1
/ = /dev/hda2

I have backed up /boot with: tar zcvpf /boot.tgz /boot

But have get to figure out how to get /dev/hda2 backed up without
picking up the other drives mounted on /


No problem use the '--one-file-system' or '-l' parameter for tar:

tar zcvplf {somewhere}/root.tgz /
