Public bug reported:
ORIGINAL: *A bunch of different blocks of text.
Deciding which files to back up, and locating them, is the most
difficult step when attempting to perform a backup. Listed below are the
most common locations of important files and settings that you may want
to back up.
Personal files (documents, music, photos and videos)
These are usually stored in your home folder (/home/your_name). They could be
in subfolders such as Desktop, Documents, Pictures, Music and Videos.
If your backup medium has sufficient space (if it's an external hard disk, for
example), consider backing up the entire Home folder. You can find out how much
disk space your Home folder takes up by using the Disk Usage Analyzer.
...
System-wide settings
Settings for important parts of the system aren't stored in your Home folder.
There are a number of locations that they could be stored, but most are stored
in the /etc folder. In general, you won't need to back up these files on a home
computer. If you are running a server, however, you should back up the files
for the services that it is running.
SUGGESTED:
Deciding which files to locate and back up can be very difficult. Listed below
are the most common locations of important files and settings that you may want
to back up.
WHY? *Inverted order between "locate" and "back up."

bothersome. Feedback would be appreciated.
