I use "rsync -Pavy --delete-after" for my /home partition, plus a couple extra things like /etc and some parts of /var. I usually also grab a list of installed packages. There are many cool ways to keep version-controlled home directories, but I admit to not using them; the only older versions of things that usually interest me are already in version control systems like Fedora Docs or Extras CVS or my home SVN system. -- Paul W.
