From the howto: http://www.faqs.org/docs/securing/chap29sec305.html
I got some ideas to help me to tar up the OS. I had already been shown
how to wrap it into SSH to deposit the tar file on another system, so I
tried the following:
tar cpvzf - -C / --exclude home --exclude media --exclude mnt
--exclude proc --exclude */lost+found | ssh root@xxxxxxxx
"cat>backup-060907.tgz"
But, whereas the howto is talking about --exclude dealing with files,
the Centos Man on tar is saying that it applies to files.
So what is wrong? I know the SSH stuff is correct as when I put in
something like ls I get a file with result of the ls. Also I had done
this without the excludes and of course it died slowing when it got to
/media/cdrom :(
