Whenever I move services from one machine to another (say for a server upgrade), I never backup /var. The only thing I backup out of it is /var/www. It would be nice if a policy like that were made consistent (ie. nothing that needs backup'ing in /var and /srv ALWAYS has to be backed-up) instead of having to keep track of all of these little things. As a rule, that is. If you want to store data in a different place, that's definitely an admin's prerogative. -- Richi Plana -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
