Is the setup now as follows /data/postgresql11 <= software with bin, lib64, share, etc... /data/postgresql11/data <= PGDATA or /usr/local/sisis-pap/pgsql <= software with bin, lib64, share, etc... /data/postgresql11/data <= PGDATA ? In the first case, your tar command would be: tar cvf /tmp/postgresql11.tar --exclude=/data/postgresql11/data /data/postgresql11 Note that the --exclude option must appear BEFORE the directory tree to archive in the command line! => man tar In the second case, your tar command would be: tar cvf /tmp/postgresql11.tar /usr/local/sisis-pap/pgsql to package the software only without the database.
