You can also.
tar -cf backup.tar /directory --exclude "IGNORE-ME"
If it wasn't snowing out, i'd probably point out that man tar is as good as RTFM (and google 'tar exclude file' is even faster).
IGNORE-ME.

As the title says - anyone know of a method to add tar/gzip to the command line in Windows? I've installed Cygwin - but don't know if I have to add something to the PATH env variable to get tar as a cmd option

The method I've used to solve this is to install Cygwin then place the path to the bin directory in the PATH variable... .
Install UnxUtils - it's a set of GNU utilities ported to Windows, sort of like Cygwin but they also work outside the Cygwin environment .

You can use 'man tar' or 'tar --help' to check for details on your version.
I think it may depend on your version of tar.

tar` might receive a list of files instead of one pattern, or none at all, making the commandtar -czpf /path/to/backups/my_backup.tar.gz --exclude path/to/images/tmp path/to/images/
This should work (assuming GNU tar):

The problem isn't tar ; the shell does not include hidden files in * .

I'm using Perl's Archive::Tar module. It preserves the file permissions but doesn't preserve the sticky bit. At the other end where I extract the archive, all the sticky bits are gone. I think UNIX/LINUX operating system stores these sticky bits somewhere...

Not sure, but on the official tar command, you need to pass -p to make this happen
You might want to take a look at the Archive::Tar documentation for the details.
