backing up with tar
Greetings to all
I am the administrator for a machine which is running SUSE 10.1, my research has shown the syntax for backing-up the entire file system is as list below tar -czpvf /<directory>/<file.tar.gz> --exclude=/<directory> --exclude=/media --exclude=/lost+found / in attempting this it is suspected that some scripts which are continuously running are causing the backup to fail. How can I get the backup to be done without the scripts interrupting, and without having to switch off the scripts? Best Regards |

Just a question. Are you backing up to a tape drive?

I am not backing up to a tape drive, I am using an external hard drive. VB |
