i am trying this approach now.

however tar seems to get quite slow. Understandablely so, since
the exclude list of files it needs to check for every single file
it considers to backup is (in this case) 150000+ files long.

on my 1.6GHz box it examines 2-3 files per second.

at this rate the backup would take about 14 hours.
