i want to exclude /sys directory...would this command work? coz its seems that when the untarring is already in /sys, it is hanging. this is the command i used.
tar xvzPf /dev/st0 --exclude /sys

I m not sure wheather give exclude options with restoration or not
On thing more if you don't want to restore /sys , then its better to not to backed up at time of creation of tar file
tar -cvzf file.tar.gz / --exclude /sys
