Archiving your files for migration /with folder exclussion

By Marko Blažeković - Posted on 30 August 2012

If you need to archive your files and you want to exclude some folders, for example "files" folder or some subfolders of files. You can use gzip for it

tar --exclude=sites/default/files/* --exclude=cache/* -cf file.tar . && gzip file.tar

And you will have a nice zip archive without folders you maybe don't want to transfer.
