My main computer is my laptop (Xubuntu 13.10), which has a 512 GB SSD
with separate partitions for / and /home, and a 1 TB hybrid drive. I
use a simple script to perform a backup:
#!/bin/bash
sudo rdiff-backup
--include-globbing-filelist /home/jjj/rdiff_excludes.txt /
does it make sense to try to backup /dev or to try to backup sockets?

Folks,
Our plant fibre rings use Hirschmann switches, Hirschmann has a tool
to view the devices and other devices, it allows one to see each piece
of the network, and if the devices have SNMP enabled it will show many
of the device attributes if they are part of what SNMP can view.

I don't know. Does it? I don't know what any of those files do. But
Keith said that /dev is recreated on boot, so probably that should be
excluded.

Okay, so I mentioned I could be willing to give a talk or two at a
future meetup.
Talks I've done before, and could probably do again without too much
crazy work, include:
. GNU Wget, recursive web-fetching tool that I maintained for a few
years (I am neither wget's original author, nor its

most recent distributions of ssh just use 'authorized_keys'. It
wouldn't hurt having both, but then
you won't know which is required :-). I guess, 'man ssh' will tell you
