I am preparing to backup my root drive in preparation

I have in /dev/hda as:
/boot = /dev/hda1
/ = /dev/hda2
I have backed up /boot with: tar zcvpf /boot.tgz /boot
But have get to figure out how to get /dev/hda2 backed up without
picking up the other drives mounted on /
Of course, I am saving the backups on a different drive so that I can
use specific files I want to restore or refer to when rebuilding the new
f7 installation.
Thanks!

I am not clear why you would want to backup /boot. I just backup my home
directory, /etc and /root , using tar.
When I untar I use the -k option that does not replace any files on the
drive with the same name.
