Which files in /var to back up?
With the advent of apt-get and cable modems, it appears I no longer
have to back up every file on my machine. In particular, things like
debian packages can be easily retrieved after a crash, provided
that the appropriate status files exist. Presumably these are files in
/var like /var/lib/dpkg/status or maybe /var/cache/apt/* ... anyone
know exactly which files I should be backing up? I could back up all
of /var but that seems a bit excessive, no? -chris
