Quoting Jay Mistry <jaylinux53@gmail.com>:
I am new to Linux in general & have just started out with openSUSE 11.1 (dual boot with Windows XP Profnl.)
For Linux, what would be the critical system files that need to be backed-up (such as /etc/X11/xorg.conf, /boot/grub/menu.lst, etc/fstab, etc...) ?
At a minimum: /home # user data /etc # configuration data /var/lib/mysl # database The more you can backup, the less you are surprised by data in odd spots that didn't get backed up and now you really need to be able to restore it. It's generally a good idea if you have important data in the database to dump it with some utility that can grab a consistent snapshot. I have scripts that run mysqldump to make daily SQL files that can be reloaded. The dump files are backed up. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
