Heres the easiest way to do your "erescue" dd if=/dev/hda of=backup.iso
"Three days later: AAAHHH! I blew up the /usr dir!" mkdir /backup mount -o loop backup.iso /backup cp -f -r -a /backup/usr / Pretty simple no? And there you have it. Backup shouldnt really be the burdon of developers. This should be up to the user in my opinion. If you break something, then its your fault for not having a backup. Of coarse this is just ONE way to backup. There are a bazillion ways to do it. The choice is up to you. Besides, if you are running the unstable branch and you DONT have a backup? You deserve what you get for not having backed up :P Donnie Berkholz wrote: > Krzysiek Pawlik wrote: > > >Use `quickpkg` before dangerous updates/merges.
