Re: Backup Script

here is a simple tar script:

export BKDATE=`date +%m%d%Y`
tar -czvf /backup/location/$BKDATE.tgz /location/of/foo
--exclude-from=/backup/location/excludes

now, create a text file in /backup/location and use the following:

/location/of/foob
/location/of/fooc
/location/of/food

for each directory you would like to exclude, simply put that directory
on a new line, and save that file.
