Back up routines
Generally I have relied on the separate partitioning of my /home
directory as some measure of protection against hosing my system through
pebkac-type activities, but this is not necessarily the most reliable of
options and certainly won't help in the case of a catastrophic HDD-failure.
Thus, can I please have a few recommendations for a backup routine that
is safe for dummies (i.e. me) and is low maintenance that I can just
leave to run according to a cron job once (or twice) a week? It would
be backing up to my former IDE HDD (now in an enclosure) via an USB. It
would be best if the application was able to tell what has changed
between backup sessions to back up only that which is new, but perhaps
that is the default anyway.
Any recommendations please?
Cheers
AG
