You need to exclude /sys & /proc at the very least. You probably also want to exclude other filesystems like /media/mmc1 and python bind mounts.

You can do that by bind mounting root (/) into a subfolder.

Try this

Code:

sudo gainroot
mount --bind / /mnt
tar -cvzf /media/mmc1/backup.tar.gz /mnt

This way, you will have in /mnt the clean root filesystem, without all that complex mounts that your system needs
