root@candle.uucp (Bruce Momjian) (05/28/91)
I am running AT&T Unix V3.1, and do my backups using the backup command, which backups up all files that have been modified since the system was installed. I wish to know if there is some easy way to prevent certain directories from being backed up, aside from changing their time stamp to some pre- install date. The actual directories are the news subdirectories, which I don't want to back up, but need the date stamp on the files for retiring. I run the backup as root, so I can't just change the directory permissions. I do backups to floppies (yes, I admit it).
