Hi Peter, > I discovered that not everything got backed up - like my firefox > bookmarks.
How about switching from choosing what to back up to backing up "everything", e.g. /home, /etc, /var/spool, and then blacklist bits of those you don't want, e.g. directories called `.cache', otherwise you're going to slowly improve your whitelist every time you find something missing upon restore. :-) Ideally, you can examine the backup and see what's taking the space in the same way you would for the area that was backed up, and that shows more things to blacklist once you're certain you don't need them.
