filesystem backup 2008/11/06 04:12  
Performing backup of / to /root ..

tar: /root: Cannot open: Is a directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

.. backup failed!


What's the problem? Can I have this tar file in root directory?

Did you try to give the file a name? as the backup of a directory needs to write it to a file..

it would then be /root/filename.tar
