What can a simple user use to backup his installation ?
Also what simple backup solution do you recommend for your personal data ?
I hope this is not too repetitive. http://opensuse-community.org/ does not discuss it and apparently the OpenSuse Wiki only points to opensuse.org.
I would recomend using dar (possibly with kdar frontend) for backups. It
supports incremental backups, but backups are kept in some kind of archives
(multi-volume ones) that can be put to CDs, DVDs, ... That approach brings
good sides of both rsync-based backup and tar-based backup. I really don't
have enough space to do rsync of my home directory, but I can spare a few CDs
or DVDs per month to store another increment of the backup. Maybe it is not
unwise to do a full backup once or twice a year and incremental backup once a
week or once a month. If you include dvdisaster error correction codes with
the backups, the solutions sounds quite safe to me.
