Just a related side-note'ish kinda thing. I learned the hard way that for whatever *_CHOICE_* we each make for producing backups, *MANUALLY VERIFY* that the product is capturing hidden files, as well...... A while back I mentioned I use rsync for my "backups", and I remember someone had.... "objected", for lack of a better word this sec. I cognitively wasn't able to grasp why outside of someone was advising rsync as is isn't the best.... The ah-ha moment came maybe a month or two later. I needed to rely on my rsync produced backups. They #FAILed because the /home/user hidden files were non-existent. While some files are easy enough to reproduce in that case, it was the missing /home/user/.config directory shtuff that was the absolute heartbreaker that fateful day. :) A Life Lesson Learned the Hard Way...
