Maybe NixOS spoiled me, but I would not copy system files at all. The only data worth backing up is app state and your files usually under /home or /var/lib/wha

- porridgeraisin 1y agoYeah. But the system files add so little to the backup size that I just backup everything except tmpfs and xdg cache anyways. I also reduce backup size by simply not backing up ~/{Pictures,Videos}. I manually put those in the google photos account my phone backs up to since they very rarely change.

- teekert 1y agoEverything is system files except for /home and var/lib/whatever in WSL ;) ;) Or, since installing is such a pain, perhaps better consider everything user files ;) ;)
