Get a copy of Clonezilla and put it on a stick drive and make it bootable.
https://clonezilla.org/
It does an effective job of backing up and restoring entire Linux disks
without pain via a graphical interface.
It can also do baremetal restores as well.
I use a little USB plug in Hard drive along with a USB stick with
Clonezilla to backup my Linux server. It has saved me a few times now
after a few bad installs, and when my server was hacked - twice in one
year. Highly recommended. The small USB hard drive and stick are
stored in a steel cabinet and are never left plugged in - in case of a
lightning strike.
After I make any sizeable changes, I do a backup and give the backup
file an approprate name and timestamp. That makes fallbacks a lot
easier.

Greetings all;
In search of something, anything that might give me a clue as to why
about a months work on custompanel.xml was killing linuxcnc, I installed
xmlindent, and xmlcopyeditor.
Thinking I might find a clue in the re-indented code, I checked the man
page for xmlindent. But it has only a -option for an output file. So I
ran it. Never came back, so I added the -w option. Never came back.
Opps, now I have a zero length file where it was 130+ LOC with an error
of some sort that let it load up to the final </pyvcp> before it puked
at column 2. I can get most of it back by dragging it in from another
machine with a similar setup but to restore what I had 20 minutes ago
will take a hell of a lot longer than I have left in me for tonight. So
then I tried xmlcopyeditor, thinking I could copy/paste into that. But
its apparently only for new creation as it does not accept a paste.
WTF??
So where can I find an xml editor that will let me copy/paste from the
Document.pdf, most of the stuff from pages 392 on to get an rpm meter,
on, fwd, rev leds, and append align.xml stuffs to that with added status
leds to show the current machine alignment state, and which will also
show any errors (cuz the Doc.pdf has quite a few errors of its own).
And preferably not capable of destroying several weeks worth of work over
the last 5 years?
I know this isn't your fault, none of you wrote this stuff, but this xml
bs needs warning labels because it can destroy anybodies sanity.
Thanks everybody.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
