For a few days i've trying to figure out how to make backup of my machine.
Since i have to duplicate it, i thought on tar'ing directories so i can store untar them on the other mahcine, (wich is far away from this one) and store it to have a safe copy.
But i still cannot tar var directory. In particular i have lots of problems with /var/named/chroot/proc wich is filled with an incredible ammount of stuff, like: dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 1 dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 12 dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 1407 dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 14559 dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 14561 dr-xr-xr-x 5 cyrus mail 0 sep 12 01:15 14833 dr-xr-xr-x 5 cyrus mail 0 sep 12 01:15 14866 dr-xr-xr-x 5 named named 0 sep 12 01:15 15099 dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 154 dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 155 dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 156 dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 157 dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 158 dr-xr-xr-x 5 cyrus mail 0 sep 12 01:15 15956 dr-xr-xr-x 5 cyrus mail 0 sep 12 01:15 15985 dr-xr-xr-x 5 cyrus mail 0 sep 12 01:15 16018 dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 19742 dr-xr-xr-x 5 apache apache 0 sep 12 01:15 19821 dr-xr-xr-x 5 apache apache 0 sep 12 01:15 19822 dr-xr-xr-x 5 apache apache 0 sep 12 01:15 19823 dr-xr-xr-x 5 apache apache 0 sep 12 01:15 19824 dr-xr-xr-x 5 apache apache 0 sep 12 01:15 19825 dr-xr-xr-x 5 apache apache 0 sep 12 01:15 19826 dr-xr-xr-x 5 apache apache 0 sep 12 01:15 19827 dr-xr-xr-x 5 apache apache 0 sep 12 01:15 19828 dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 sep 12 00:08 2 dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 2036 dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 21280 dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 21282 dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 21324 dr-xr-xr-x 5 smmsp smmsp 0 sep 12 01:15 21332 dr-xr-xr-x 5 cyrus mail 0 sep 12 01:15 22796 dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 22805 dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 22806 dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 22807 dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 22808 dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 22809 dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 245 (resumed) -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 buddyinfo dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 sep 1 15:29 bus -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 cmdline -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 cpuinfo -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 crypto -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 devices -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 diskstats -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 dma dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 driver -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 execdomains -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 fb -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 filesystems dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 fs dr-xr-xr-x 4 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 ide -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 interrupts -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 iomem -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 ioports dr-xr-xr-x 23 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 irq -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 kallsyms -r-------- 1 root root 536285184 sep 12 01:15 kcore -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 keys -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 key-users -r-------- 1 root root 0 sep 1 19:29 kmsg -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 loadavg -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 locks -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 mdstat -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 meminfo -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 misc -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 modules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 sep 12 01:15 mounts -> self/mounts -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 sep 1 15:29 mtrr dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 sep 2 00:58 net -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 partitions -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 pci lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 64 sep 11 23:45 self -> 22809 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 slabinfo -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 sep 12 01:15 stat -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 sep 12 01:45 swaps dr-xr-xr-x 9 root root 0 sep 1 19:29 sys --w------- 1 root root 0 sep 12 01:45 sysrq-trigger dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 sep 12 01:45 sysvipc dr-xr-xr-x 4 root root 0 sep 12 01:45 tty -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 sep 12 01:45 uptime -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 sep 12 01:45 version -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 sep 12 01:45 vmstat
The question is, is there any of this files-directories that i can erase to make a tar? by now im having problems with some files from the -number- directories like: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 sep 12 01:57 exe wich is not linked to anything
what can i do?
