It's a combination of Pro Isam/Oracle databases and our ERP application and a few other apps...however, I don't need to backup the Oracle databases themselves as there are cold backups being done every night and I can backup those. Am I reading correctly that with 'tar', if you wanted to exclude directories you have to create a file and within that file list them out? I'm currently doing something similar dumping CSV files to a windows share so that wouldn't be an issue. What I wonder is how the performance would be doing it that way. Would it be better performance to tar on the box and then copy it to the windows share? I may have missed reading it, but is there a way to produce a text file listing of all the files that were sucessfully tarred?
