Use rsync. I exclude directories in a file and use --exclude-from= argument which points to a file containing this: /proc /dev /var/run/ /sys /media /tmp These file may vary according to distro but should be okish for Ubuntu. To restore (yes, I have) do a vanilla install and rsync back. -- Leviticus 11:10
