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.
and usbfs and (probably) more, now or in the future.
Better, explicitly backup the filesystems you want.
mondo uses afio internally afio is like cpio with some improvements such
as compressing files _before_ adding them to the archive (a bad block on
a tape doesn't automatically destroy everything following), and
measuring archive size _after_ compression (compare that with tar * cpio).
