![]() ![]() These kind of directories are indeed quit obvious. I have other ways of backing those up securely on the rare occasions they change. For example, I don’t include ssh or pgp keys in my normal backups. Lastly, you should consider if there is anything you don’t want in your backups for security reasons. Likewise, if I needed to go back in time farther than my snapshots reach, the dotfiles are again not much value to me. If I have a disaster sufficient to require me to go to recover from an offsite backup, I am not going to be overly worried about my dotfiles. I have them in my snapshots if I want a recent version. I only backup the things I explicitly want. It can be anywhere and in any directory.įor me, I exclude ~/.cache from my snapshots and don’t worry about anything else unless I see something that is objectively large.įor backups, I take the opposite approach. ![]() The problem is that there is no universal method of identifying cache data. For example, do you want to backup Downloads and Videos? Maybe or maybe not depending on what you keep in those directories.īarring obvious data you may want specifically exclude from your backups, my opinion is you should back up everything in /home except cache data. In other words, I have a back up strategy, but now the directories and the files, which?įirst exclude the obvious things that are up to you. So that I can apply your suggestions to my own case. Therefore I would like to learn which kind/type of directories and files should I (not) back up. However, all the hidden stuff will be backup as well. Thus to say it alternative, BRTBK is for snapshots of my system, Vorta for backups, and LuckyBackUp/GRsync are for to be save(d) ).įor both Rsync and Vorta, I have /home/ ‘ruled in’, so that every new account will be included in the backup. Why both, Lucky has a better GUI, but Grsync is up to date. ![]()
