I'm trying to tar up a directory (/home/tempuser) that contains a bunch of subdirectories. One of the subdirectories (/home/tempuser/work), I would like to omit from being tar'd. I'm using the command: tar cvf backup.tar --exclude="/home/tempuser/work" However that directory is still being tar'd up. I suspect I'm not using the parameter correctly. If there a way I can exclude that directory plus any subdirectories or files underneathe it?
