tar exclude directories
 
Dear all,

Am using the below command to exclude a directory from tar, but still I notice that the excluded directory is getting archived.

[code]
tar -cvf TABS_6.11.2.2_3-11-2008_prod_oct13.tar /ccbs/appl/orasoa/1013/j2ee/OC4J_CRM/applications/rmsp/TABS_6.11.2.2_3-11-2008 --exclude "/ccbs/appl/orasoa/1013/j2ee/OC4J_CRM/applications/rmsp/TABS_6.11.2.2_3-11-2008/crm/pdf"
[code]

Any idea ?


Kai

Hi,

I'm always using the -X option and a file containing the directories I want to exclude
Code:
tar cjvfX backup.tar.bz2 exclude-files.txt /home/username
Regards
