Hi Guys,
What are you going to backup.
In an ideal world you would backup *everything*.
The OS is 'backed-up' on the live CD, the applications are
'backed-up'
That's the base OS, without any applications and without updates. Going
up-to-date will take a lot longer than restoring a backup.
all over the web, the repository lists can be found in Google, and
the
Hunting for apps and installing them online means you can't use your
computer for your needs.
user files can simply be copied onto a flash memory - 64 GB for
example.
Are you joking? When did you copy last time your /home on a flash
memory? How long did it take?
What is more with every new installation of the OS you are becomming
better and better - this is a unique chance to improve your skills and
to update or upgrade the OS.
I take you never lost you /home so far...
What are you going to backup.
Usually every user has to decide for a backup strategy examining various
trade-offs: size, space, time, importance of data.
For a simple user (the target of the Desktop spin) I expect to be about
documents, data and settings.
