Anyone know the syntax for excluding a single or multiple directories from a tar backup.

In my telnet I currently use:

but I would also like to exclude the directory

/home/ftp/pub/images/large

from being tarrred.

I`ve looked at the unix help but can`t understand it, doh..

cheers

chmod

You'll need to use the exclude flag...

something like --directory / --exclude=proc --exclude=mnt --exclude=archive \


For more information, there are quite a few web pages that offer examples:
