Operating Systems Linux Ubuntu What is solution for this error "tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors"? Post 302855777 by herbie643 on Friday 20th of September 2013 09:38:07 PM

This worked for me. It seems the /run directory was causing the issue.

Code:
tar cvzpf /mnt/Toshiba/Backup.tgz --same-owner --exclude=/home/Backup.tgz 
  --exclude=/home/error.log --exclude=/proc/* --exclude=/media/* --exclude=/dev/*
  --exclude=/mnt/* --exclude=/sys/* --exclude=/tmp/* --exclude=/run/* /
