I'd also say that *most* people using a computer are only semi-literate about computing. It's gone from only nerds with a keen interest are using computers to virtually everyone is expected to, no matter how little their care about it. Backing things up, *and* being able to restore something is far from straight-forward. You really need something external to back up to, it may well be best that it's not another computer with the same OS, since and OS update may be what caused your need to restore files. You need to know how to drive it. How to backup what you need to backup, how to ignore things that don't need backing up that would waste time and space. And you really need to know how to retrieve something specific that you lost, because a simple dump everything you have now in the trash and put back on everything from an hour (or more) ago causes far more loss than the one file you needed to get back. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.95.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Jul 24 13:59:37 UTC 2023 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
