I am finally making my cheapo lindows box into a honest machine by installing a backup program. I just mount a drive on another computer, run find -newer somedate and tar them and zip them. Works OK. I fine tune what files to tar with sed /file/d.
Now, my question is, on a debian machine, since I would be restoring from CD for the operating system and I will download almost all my software from the warehouse, what do I really need to backup? I have to get my boot directory and /usr/local and /root and /home, but anything else?
I would want at least one good backup of /etc. I snapshopt mine every other week so I don't have to go back forever with incremental.
