You are right, I didn't think about that /home is just /home and the
files aren't relevant for the whole Linux. I only need personal files,
KDE settings, .bashrc and some audio settings.

I run rsync to backup Suse from 64 Studio and to backup 64 Studio I run
it from Suse.

Hm? I have to read about that, but not within the next days. The next
days I only will make music with Linux. I think everything is backuped
and I can ignore that "pseudo"-errors for the moment.
