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.
 
The exact fileset you use will vary somewhat depending
on how you've laid out your directory tree and
just what you want included in your image, so use
the fileset above as a point of departure.

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,
disseminate this document without charge, so long as you do so without
modifying it in any way.
