SYSTEM: HP Titanium server with SLES9 and DVD-RW size of complete sytem 1,7GB
What is the best (easy, but secure) way to make a full backup of the complete SLES9 system on DVD? I tried to make a tar ball, but somehow it keeps growing (above 10GB), so apparently it keeps including itself.
cd / tar cvf - ./ --exclude=proc --exclude=sys | growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=/proc/self/fd/0 To extract data from the dvd simply call tar -xvf /dev/dvd
