What if Debian crashes?

[Andreas Palsson <did@algonet.se>]

Hello.

Here's a question which might be a little stupid, what do I do if Debian
crashes?

Until now I have never experienced a crash, freeze, system-/disk-fault in
3 years. I might be lucky, but I never experiment with unstable or
'frozen' distributions or applications.


What tools are there to check the system/disks/ram/installed packages?

What is good/bad to backup (tar+gz) on a Debian-system (etc|var|usr...)?

Other good strategies?

Regards...
	Andreas
