Backing up /home is very difficult already, since it is big. If you put your data there, then I might very well of had to exclude it from the backup disks. I have since then purchased some bigger backup disks for /home, by the way (more precisely, Sara Billey purchased some for us). > I thought that of course the data bases are > backed up, similar to the home directory, and that the data were > relatively safe there.
