This is the page where we will gather files/settings that are important to backup, and how to backup them.
current discussions involve the following points:
backup what: what is data files, and what is system files
- System Files: Files from the installation source, usually default files put on by the installation media in order for the system to work as intended.
- System Settings: setting files for determining the behavior of the system. This would be such things as samba settings, network settings, etc.
- Default Settings: System settings that are created as defaults during OS or Application installation.
- Data: User data, basically all files and other data that is on a system created or otherwise put there by a user. Movies, songs, documents, and including such things as user profiles or other such data. Basically anything that is on a system for or by the user and is not included by default by installation material.
backup how: what programs to backup, and how to automate it
backup where: what is the most convient media to backup to
backup when: regular intervals, user specified, or no suggestion on amahi's part at all, let the user take care of it.
