I just had a HD crash so I selected a replacement SSD and I'm re installing the software. I had backup of /etc/ and /home but I've missed all other settings eg: /boot/ kernel config and other files and are not in /etc directory like: hylafax setting etc. Is there a way to keep backup of all those configuration files that are manually edited? -- Joseph
