Yeah, I don’t understand system backups anymore. I keep everything I care about in a single directory and clone that to the cloud. I no longer need to worry about backups outside of this. It’s easy enough to install a fresh OS and restore my directory. I’ll need to install a few apps but I’ll also have a nice clean system to work with.
- eviks 2y agoAnd if you have many apps and don't treat your carefully edited configs as dirt, you'll understand it'd be a giant waste of time to recreate from scratch
- avalys 2y agoI don’t carefully edit any configs. I try to be productive with the default/recommended configuration as much as possible, and be flexible when things change rather than fight to restore the familiar behavior. Otherwise you’re constantly fighting a lonely battle.
- eviks 2y agoYou don't need to fight anything, yo can be just as flexible, just starting from a much better base that the defaults. But this is not about you, but the inability to understand the value of backing up apps and their configs
- wruza 2y agoYou cannot be productive with the default configuration. You’re just telling it to yourself, but it really sucks.
