I use borg and am very happy with it. As Chris, I only backup /home, everything else is replaceable. Oh, I occasionally make a backup of /etc also.
I back /home and /etc because if I missed a config change then I need /etc to rebuild.As pointed out a list of installed packages is use full to backup as well.I put that info in a file in /etc.
That's a good idea. I truthfully don't use users because no one
but me uses my machine. I know everyone says use a normal user and
just sudo into root. But all I access is in root anyway, so I just
login. I too just backup what I want at this point. Is it safe btw
to erase all the invisible files in the /home root directory? Bash
scripts and all? I erase a few root scripts that applications make
and send to /~ but I am very careful.
Does anyone still use clonzilla or partimage? They are a bit
aged.
(I keep all config in a svn repo - so should not need the /etc backup. But sometimesI miss an edit that matters and the /etc backup is noise compared to /home).
Some times I have critical app data in /var and back that up as needed.
