I have read through the man pages for both dump and tar, but didn't see
what I was looking for. Basically, I want to backup my entire system
before doing an upgrade, but I want to do it without unmounting my
newserver and respective disks. I know it isn't a good idea to back up
a system that is active, but I am going to anyway.
What I need is a backup command that I can tell to ignore a certain
directory tree, but backup everything else.
