Hi! Perhaps I'm just not looking in the right place, but I can't seem to find
any sources on setting up the following backup with tar...
I understand how to backup entire folders in the root partition as a separate
group (that is, /usr, /var, /tmp, /etc, etc.). But suppose that I have the
following layout:
/home
/user1
/user2
/user3
/user4
/user5
...
/home/user1 is a huge folder, as is /home/user3. So I would like each of these
to be separate "disks" on the disklist (each one approaches the max size of my
tape). However, I also want to back up the rest of the folders in one disk.
That is, I want to have the following "disks":
/home/user1
/home/user3
/home [but without user1 and user3]
How would I go about doing this? I think it would be something with the
exclusion lists, but how do I set them up?
Thanks,
Ricky
