How about simply using tar, and excluding /proc , a couple of irectories
under /var/spool (what about /dev ? does tar support device files?)
It won't give you an exact image, as a couple of things change during the
time of the backup, and therefore your backup may not be consistent. But
for the software installed, it should be OK. Right?
