Do you guys backup only your /home folder and personal files/
documents, or the root ( / ) system also?
\r
I back up /home, /audio, /var/lib/portage/world and /etc. On Gentoo
pretty much everything I need to recreate my setup is in /etc so
that's pretty easy. The world file on Gentoo is just a text list of
the apps I want installed. Portage can create a system from nothing
but that. However I need /etc/portage to get any machine specific
settings. All the other things like network configuration, etc., is
kept in /etc on my machines.
If you run mysql then back up databases as Arnold suggests.
Hope this helps,
Mark
On my general purpose machine just /home
On my DAW /audio and /music (I keep 'construction' files separate from
finished tracks).
I also have printed step-by-step instructions on how to get my machines
back to my standard configuration.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
