Don't forget to back up stuff that can help you rebuild the system |
| 10 |
quickly. Like /proc/config.gz, or better yet just the kernel and |
| 11 |
modules you need so you don't have to rebuild at all or generate the |
| 12 |
sources. |

Another thing that I think is highly valuable to back up, and very |
| 15 |
often ignored, is the output of 'fdisk -l'. If your drive dies it's |
| 16 |
very nice to have a reminder of how it was formatted. |
