You don't even want to try and back up the proc fs. Have a look at the
size of /proc/kcore.
If there is an option to not cross filesystems then turn that on (like
tar -l or find -xdev).
Failing that, use mount to find everywhere that proc and sysfs is
mounted and exclude them manually.

Hello,
I have been using mondorescue to backup to dvd for several months now
without any problems.
Since upgrading to Centos 4.4, I now receive a few errors. The errors are
for files in /var/named/chroot/proc. I guess these files change so when I
do a differntial backup they aren't there and result in errors. (Never got
any errors before and I think these files were there in 4.3) If I exclude
the files from the backup, no errors.
My question is what, if any problems would I run into not backing these
files up and having to do a complete system restore?
TIA,
Eddie
