Thanks a lot. I will give this a try. But to be clear, would this backup
the entire system and restore it, in the event of a crash of something
going horribly wrong? I'm hoping it to be like the Time Machine for
linux; is that what it does?
Just a related side-note'ish kinda thing. I learned the hard way that
for whatever *_CHOICE_* we each make for producing backups, *MANUALLY
VERIFY* that the product is capturing hidden files, as well......
A while back I mentioned I use rsync for my "backups", and I remember
someone had.... "objected", for lack of a better word this sec. I
cognitively wasn't able to grasp why outside of someone was advising
rsync as is isn't the best....
The ah-ha moment came maybe a month or two later. I needed to rely on
my rsync produced backups. They #FAILed because the /home/user hidden
files were non-existent. While some files are easy enough to reproduce
in that case, it was the missing /home/user/.config directory shtuff
that was the absolute heartbreaker that fateful day. :)
A Life Lesson Learned the Hard Way... AGAIN. :D
