I do backup the important parts of my home-folder. And /etc, /usr/local/src (where my local svn-stuff is), /var/lib/mysql (where my mysql-tables are) and some other important places. Backing up whole '/' imho is only feasible a) if you really need to put the system back up real fast by booting from a rescue-cd and restoring the backup [*] or b) you have to keep the data and a system that can read it for several years for legal reasons. [*] Use a backup-program where "restore" is only a cp- or a tar-call. rsnapshot has proven to be good here at my installations. Have fun, Arnold
