After thinking a bit more on this, for bare-metal recovery, it seems logical that I MUST include every directory. I shouldn't leave anything out since the recovery process outlined below never calls for re-loading the OS. Traditionally, the OS is reloaded and then the files are restored, but in b

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
