hi everyone after losing a considerable amount of data that i had accumulated over the last year or so by trying to remove a directory called '~' that i had created by mistake in a sub directory of my home directory with rm -rf ~ which of course started to eat through my home directory with a vengence, i managed to stop it before it went to far, i didn't have any recent backups, needless to say i've learning my lesson about having a good policy of regular backups. what are the recommended partition to backup if
1 i want to do a fresh reinstall e.g. to move to a larger hard drive. 2 for a disaster recovery like what i experienced above. i will be using ville walveranta's autodump 1.5a script which does a full dump on sundays and incremental dumps during the week, i already have /home /etc and /root set for backup, are there any other partitions i should bear in mind ? shadrock
