You'll just need to exclude the directory you want. Are you looking to exclude the RRDs or the unprocessed perfdata?
Also, update your signature. Seeing 1.6 is making me uneasy.

In
/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/backup-xi.sh, change
line #84 from:
Code: Select all
tar czfps $mydir/nagios.tar.gz /usr/local/nagios
To:
Code: Select all
tar czfps $mydir/nagios.tar.gz tar --exclude='/usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata' /usr/local/nagios
That should help keep the size of the backup down. If you care about the perfdata, just tar it up every once in a while and overwrite the old perfdata tar.

You really should think about moving to windows me for the personal touch or os/2 warp for the street cred.
