[solved] udev /run folder and tar backups

Hi,

I usually make my backups of arch using something like this

 tar -cvpzf /media/root-`date +%d%m%y`.tar.gz --exclude=/{dev,lost+found,mnt,media,proc,sys,tmp}/* / | grep tar: 

My restore procedure is simple, extract the tar , chroot + mkinitcpio -p + grub and all go fine.
Now the latest updates (initscripts,udev) create a new folder /run , is safe to exclude this folder in the tar file?

Thanks in advance.

/run is a tmpfs so I think is safe to exclude. mark as solved.
