Hi,
I am an IT professional but quite new to Linux. I am using Fedora 9 and
a few times now, most of which have been my fault, I will experiment
and/or make some changes that would then give me errors while logged in
as my personal user or at times I cannot even get to the desktop. The
only fix I have found is a fix of a novice. I just create a new user,
copy all my personal files over to the new user, reset all of my
preferences, and am back up running again. Yesterday after running the
latest Fedora updates, I could no longer get to the desktop of my
personal user so in the end I had to go through the same process of
creating a new user before I could login. But I again had to go through
the tedious task of copying my personal files and personalising the
settings of the new user.
Here is the question: Is there any way to backup my existing user info
so that I can just restore the backup when I need to and have all of my
user preferences set the way I left them? I have tried backing up the
"Home" folder but after restoring it, I still had the same problem.
Any help would be appreciated,
Alex
