Sure. You can do multiple tar commands. Or you make up the list of excludes once, then reuse it each time you upgrade your harddrive. Fewer commands to type means fewer commands to mess up.

Sure, but if you want to do a single tar of three filesystems, it's even easier to just say something like "tar -clf - /etc /usr /var".
