[Trisquel-users] Antwort: Seeking for a backup tool
You are still quite unprecise what the source for the backup is... Your mounted home dir ? Do you copy your full home partition as dd image and want to add modified files ? All this is important since a full partition backup is a completely different beast than a incremental filesystem backup. There is a backup functionality integrated into vanilla Ubuntu. Unfortunately I do not remember the name and have no clue if it is available under Trisquel.

Hm, I would choose a different strategy. Put your home dir on a dedicated partition. Then backup the system partition(s) like / with a full backup. For your changeable stuff you could do filebased incremental backup like with rdiff-backup or rsnapshot. To my best knowledge only the bootloader is the one thing you need to make a binary backup. The rest of your directory tree could be backed up at file base.
