Backing up my system

Sorry about that.

Anyway I've got this system that i want to back up on the same system and i want to use a tar command. I'll take this tar ball and then export it off the system using SMBFS to ship it over to my NT machine.

The problem i'm facing is that the backup wants to make a backup of itself!!

This is obviously not what i want to have happen. Is there anyone who can offer some solutions to this other than backing up to an external device.(None available)

TIA
