Subject: [gentoo-user] new machine: incremental back-ups
Date: Thu, 4 Oct 2012 02:38:25 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20121004063825.GC955@ca.inter.net> (raw)

My new machine is working very well -- thanks again for the advice -- ,
tho' the sighing noise from the CPU fan is a bit trying (smile),
& I'm considering setting up an incremental back-up system
so that if the SSD collapses,
I can restore everything from files stored on the HDD without re-installing.

I already have an adequate set-up of back-ups, incl off-site copies,
which ensures my personal files + configs cb restored,
but it involves some human intervention from me at various times
& I would have to re-install all the system + Portage stuff.

What do people who do incremental back-ups use ?
