Here is a script I use to backup my linux system:
#!/bin/sh
MEDIUM=/mnt/dmzserv/share/mark/BACKUP/webserver
echo "Creating system backup on $MEDIUM as dmz2-sys-backup-<date>.tar.gz..."
tar -zcvpf $MEDIUM/dmz2-sys-backup-`date '+%d-%B-%Y'`.tar.gz \ --directory / --exclude=mnt --exclude=proc --exclude=share .
echo "...done"
This creates a system backup starting in "/", excluding mnt, proc and share, with the file name including the date.

I'm having a brain freeze tonight and apparently forgot some basic UNIX commands..
what is the command to remove the file "--directory"
rm *directory* = nope rm "*directory*" = nope rm \-\-\directory = nope rm -i * = nope and dosent even see the file
Also, if I'm in / and want to tar the entire filesystem EXCLUDING the directory jail ( /jail ) what would be the switches to tar?
