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 wouldn't use them for general backup purposes but clonezilla is still a good choice when upgrading a drive. I might consider using one of them to back up a whole system when it's a utility or micro server, but backing up a whole desktop system seems like a waste of disk space unless you just have money to burn.
Thanks,
Richard
