cd /

# TAR Up the Entire Drive
tar cvpjf backup.tar.bz2 --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/backup.tar.bz2 --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys --exclude=/cdrom --exclude=/tmp --exclude=/media --exclude=/var/local --exclude=/var/lock  --exclude=/var/log  --exclude=/var/cache  --exclude=/var/backups --exclude=/var/mail --exclude=/var/opt --exclude=/var/run --exclude=/var/spool --exclude=/var/tmp /

# To Log Output, Add the Following to End of Previous Command:
# (Be sure to add an exclude to the command above!)
| tee /backup-log.txt


##### Restore #####
# Boot from LiveCD if Need To, But Not Required! ;)

# As Before, Sudo Up and Browse to Root, Then:
tar xvpfj backup.tar.bz2  -C /

mkdir proc
mkdir lost+found

mkdir cdrom
mkdir tmp
mkdir media
mkdir var/local
