Re: backup using rsync
Hi,
I usually just backup /etc and any users data files that are needed.
ex. /home or /var/mail, /var/www
It only takes 10 minutes to build a working woody box, and
another few minutes to get the backup files back in.
If I'm really nervous, I'll backup root minus /proc
hth,
Cheers,
Mike
