Partialy,
I do backups of everything that is mine, documents and stuff like that. But restoring the entire system with all tweaks and packets would probably take weeks.
- bigiain 12y agoWhy? Give the startlingly low cost of storage these days, I can't imagine a scenario where I'd risk "weeks" of productivity just to save on the raw storage cost of doing a complete (and i my case, bootable) "entire system" backup/archive.
- callesgg 12y agoIs not about money it is about ROI setting up a backup system would be some work and doing backups verifying that they work everything takes time (time to remake system - the time it would take to do backups)/(the risk of failure) I think it is to low
- bigiain 12y agoFair enough - for me rsync(+bash+cron) and a $80 external usb drive (or just clicking the buttons on TimeMachine on Mac OS X boxen) is a small enough "I" to easily justify the "R" - even for data I could retrieve easily enough if needed. For data I actually care about, I put a lot more effort/money into ensuring I don't lose it.
