Hi,

Yes, I was planning to differentiate via partitions (/ /usr /home
/var ...).  There are two different options:

- mounting a snapshot of each partition and then tarsnapping all
files/dirs in that snapshot

- dump -L of each partition and then tarsnapping each dump


I would prefer the first one, thats why I am asking if there are
any experiences using tarsnap for a full system backup.
