I'm trying to tar up a directory (/home/tempuser) that contains a bunch
of subdirectories. One of the subdirectories (/home/tempuser/work), I
would like to omit from being tar'd. I'm using the command:
tar cvf backup.tar --exclude="/home/tempuser/work"
However that directory is still being tar'd up. I suspect I'm not
using the parameter correctly. If there a way I can exclude that
directory plus any subdirectories or files underneathe it?
