Notice that we do *not* backup the dynamic kernel-created
filesystems like ``/dev`` or ``/proc``, nor do we
backup utility mountpoints like ``/mnt`` or ``/tmp``.
 
Also, if you have ``tbku`` writing your backup to
the local disk, make sure that directory is *not*
included in the fileset. Doing so would create
a recursive backup wherein the backup would be
copied to itself.
 
3. Save the resulting ``.tar.gz`` (tarball) file somewhere
it can be retrieved later when you want to image another
machine. This can be a network server, a USB drive,
a DVD or whatever makes sense in your environment. As
disseminate this document without charge, so long as you do so without
modifying it in any way.
