I have a 140G RAID5 array that I would like to back up to my 20/40 DDS4
Seagate drive.

Without a lot of experience with a drive this large, I've made a 100M
/boot partition, a 2G swap partition (I have 1G of ram), and finally the
rest of the drive ~137G set to /.

I've allocated 20G to /tmp for a holding disk. I have set it to back up
/ every day. I have 5 tapes.

I guess I should exclude /tmp and /var/tmp from the backup list so that
it isn't backing up the tar file as well.

Any other recommendations on this setup. 

Thanks,
