Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] Ubuntu Studio 13.10 released
Oh man, you people are awesome!! I am more and more loving this Linux (e.g.,
Ubuntu) world.
I'm all fired up this morning (I even haven't performed my morning meditation
yet) to look
into and implement your wonderful ideas. Back in my Windows days I sometimes
wrote simple batch files; now here I am again, willing to learn in this case
the fine art of scripting in Linux. This is groovy.
And Mr. Ralf, I like your satire. I laughed and squirted tears.

From another installed Linux I run a script and copy the complete
install to a compressed tar archive to an external USB HDD. I also made
backups of the drives MBRs. If you use wildcards take care about
globbing.
You could copy installs and data from your SATA 1 to your SATA 2 and
vice versa, but this isn't a backup by definition. A backups has to be
done to an external device. Thumbdrives aren't save backup medias.

I wouldn't use a cloud to store any private data. Sure the NSA has got
backups of what is stored by dropbox, so theoretically if your drives
should fail and the drives of the dopbox servers should fail, the NSA
could provide a backup for you, but in reality they don't give it to
you. Remember the journalist who called the NSA and ask them to sent him
the stored mail he deleted "by accident" on his machine. You might say,
but there are not only backups of clouds available by the NSA, they are
also available by different mafias, sure, but likely you don't have a
phone number to call them and ask them to help you, if if your drives
should fail and the drives of the dopbox servers too.

If it can be of any help, my regular procedure if I need a backup when doing a major upgrade (or a reinstallation) is to use ClonezillaLive (http://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live.php). Basically you can create a clone of your hard disk, then you are safe to upgrade, reinstall, whatever, and you always have the clone that will restore your hard disk to exactly the same state it had before cloning it. A wonderful time-saver, and really ease to use. I actually create clones of my work PCs this way, creating a new clone every month or so, apart from regular daily incremental backups of data, so that if updates of software start messing up my computer I can always go back to a previous state, and then replace the data (work documents, etc.) with the daily incremental backups.
