Thank you.
I back up to a hardrive which I've mounted to ./backup using 'tar cvf' and that works fine and very fast. It's just that I run a system with a lot of extensive logfiles, which I do not need to back up. They are in the middle of things, so I want to exclude these. It says that tar accepts exclusions, but I cannot find the right way of putting down the command. It's Solaris 8

I tried to exclude ex1.sh from tar ....
May not be viable solution. Code:
$chmod 400 ex1.sh
$tar -cvf 1.tar .
$ tar -xvf 1.tar
x .
x ./abc
x ./file1, 0 bytes, 0 media blocks.
x ./file2, 0 bytes, 0 media blocks.
x ./bcd
x ./bcd/file1, 0 bytes, 0 media blocks.
x ./hhh
x ./1.tar, 0 bytes, 0 media blocks.
tar: 0511-188 Cannot create ./ex1.sh: The file access permissions do not allow the specified action.
$chmod 755 ex1.sh
