Hi everybody
I'd like to know how you manage your backing-up: - what do you back-up - and how? (on what media, using what programs, how do you keep track?)
I back up /home, /pub, and /srv, on the theory that I will have to reinstall everything else. I use rdiff-backup nightly. rdiff-backup alllows for backup of virtually any combination of files and directories, will backup over a network (using ssh for security), and allows for restoral of any set of files at any given time in the past.
Are you sure that it is not necessary to backup /etc? You will lose all accounts, passwords and settings of services that way if the hdd is unrecoverable.
