The /sys mount point is on the same filesystem as /, so it will be |
| 10 |
included, but the contents are no a separate (virtual) filesystem, so |
| 11 |
they won't be copied. The same goes for /proc /dev and removable devices |
| 12 |
mounted under /mnt and /media. It also applies to your backup drive, |
| 13 |
which you need to exclude, and /home, which you don't. So you'll need to |
| 14 |
backup /home, and any other partitions you need, separately. |

I prefer to keep backups of the OS and user data separate anyway, so this |
| 17 |
suits me. |
