26 Yes, with the exception of /usr/portage/{distfiles,packages}
27 and /{var/,}tmp.

35 XFS partition with borgbackup. Retention stored on disk is 3 months
36 meanwhile (1 months of daily backups, 5 weekly backups, rest is
37 monthly). Borgbackup compressed 30 TB worth of backups into 1.8 TB.
38
39 It's an internal hard disk for performance reasons. I'm currently not
40 duplicating the backup disk to external storage, but if I would I'd
41 mirror the borgbackup archive with rsync.
