An old habit ... I think about backups along the lines of
ufsdumps of entire filesystems, I know, an outdated model.
I also like being able to see how much space I am using for
each with a simple df rather than a du (that takes a while to run). I
can also tune compression on a data type basis (no real point in
trying to compress media files that are already compressed MPEG and
JPEGs).
