aru Posted February 19, 2003 Report Share Posted February 19, 2003 IMHO, just the following: --> because it has all the users own stuff. [*]/var/* --> because it stores all dynamic stuff (html pages, spools, mysql stuff...). [*]/etc/* --> obviously because it has all the configuration files. Another tree to save could be: "/usr/local". The rest of the system can be easily restored doing a reinstall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daveleh Posted February 20, 2003 Report Share Posted February 20, 2003 Hi Aru, you said: IMHO, just the following: --> because it has all the users own stuff. [*]/var/* --> because it stores all dynamic stuff (html pages, spools, mysql stuff...). [*]/etc/* --> obviously because it has all the configuration files. Another tree to save could be: "/usr/local". The rest of the system can be easily restored doing a reinstall. Thanks for that, I've often wondered mysel :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
