I keep track of /etc with etckeeper which puts that directory under git
version control.  That means I can always track back changes to package
updates or me mucking around there and see exactly what changed.  That
can be very helpful if an `apt upgrade` broke stuff, more so because I
track "testing" ;-)
Nice!!!
I run on a BTRFS file system and /etc is in it's on sub volume.  I just take a snapshot of it.  restoration is as easy as overwriting a file or folder from the snapshot.  I store the snapshots both locally and externally.  Works great.  I handle /var/lib/mysql that way, too.

Cheers,
Curtis
