I'm aiming to use Amanda for bare metal restores as described in "Backup &
Recovery" by Curtis Preston - p. 145. However, I'm not sure which
directories to exclude. In fact, I'm not sure that I should exclude anything
at all. Should I exclude these?

/proc
/mnt
/dev
/tmp
/sys

Curtis says to follow these steps for bare-metal restores using Amanda:

1. Replace the disk.

2. Boot with LiveCD (knoppix)

3. Format and partition the disk

4. Use amrestore on the Amanda server to restore everything to a new disk,
including the operating system (you might need to restore incrementals as
well).

5. Create a boot loader on the new disk.
