Question #216105 on sbackup changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/sbackup/+question/216105
Anton posted a new comment: Just one additional note, as general 'good practice' regarding backups. A backup is intended as a *fallback* option in case your primary data gets lost. In the situation you describe, as soon as you erase all (primary) data your backup becomes your only copy of the data, and you therefore have no backup! So, whenever you are planning something like this, make sure you have *two* *independent* copies/backups of your primary data before you erase the primary data! (To be sure, I also found this out the hard way, a long time ago, when a backup failed to restore and it was the only copy of my boss's data at that moment.) -- You received this question notification because you are a member of Simple Backup Maintainers, which is an answer contact for sbackup. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~nssbackup-team Post to : nssbackup-team@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~nssbackup-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
