| Issue |
I would like to backup my harddrive to a tape using pax. Considering that I have several NFS mounted directories that I do not want to have archived when I do the pax command and I don't want to umount the NFS directories.
How this might be accomplished?

| Solution |
A method of generating the file names to be backed up is using the "find" command, as in "find / | pax -w". "find" also takes a "-xdev" argument, so that it will not cross mount points.
For example:
find / -xdev | pax -w -t /dev/tp0
