You can also set up automated backups using crontab, however I wouldn't recommend doing so with a hard disk drive (only an SSD is applicable for automated backups as it doesn't degrade the drive from remaining mounted and spinning during backups). If that is important to you, you should back it up. /root/ stores configuration for the root user./srv/ much like /opt/, but is by convention more likely to contain data you actually want to backup.If you stored something here, you are in the best position to decide, if you want to back it up. /opt/ if you didn't store anything here, you don't need to back it up.If the packages themselves aren't important to you, it should be enough to backup /usr/local/etc/ and /usr/local/src/. If you have packages installed here, you may want to backup the whole directory, so you don't have to reinstall them. not installed through apt) are installed here. /usr/local/ hand-installed packages (i.e.Some more directories to consider for a backup are: (alternatively, i could use rsync -Prv instead of -arv to show a progress bar instead of each file being copied) Now I could back up my linux system using the following commands: I then used cd /mnt/usbdrive to change directories into the "usbdrive" folder where the external backup disk was mounted. The command line told me that windows had left some junk on the disk and it was cleaning it up, so I hit enter, then it mounted perfectly. Mount /dev/sdbm1 /mnt/usbdrive (to mount the external drive to the folder ) Mkdir /mnt/usbdrive (to make a directory for the usb drive to mount to) Then mount the drive on linux using the following commands:įdisk -l (to list all disks, my external drive showed up as sdbm1 but yours could be different) Also File System needs to be set to NTFS. Partion scheme is GPT, and Target System is UEFI. Please Like my post over here.I used the PC tool "Rufus" to format the external backup drive for GPT UEFI NTFS. From the tool, under boot selection, select UEFI:NTFS. PSU: Fractal ION 2+ 650WLike my post (or find it helpful)?.
