Hi Miroslav, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I started using computers with 14... |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
The root I am installing is in a separate directory, which |
| 6 |
I use chrooted. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Over the years I was locked out several times because I was using |
| 9 |
"sophisticated backup software" and the "the most advanced backup |
| 10 |
strategy" |
| 11 |
;) |
| 12 |
...in the end, when the system had gone gaga, I neither had the |
| 13 |
software anymore nor the informations, what backyp was incremental, |
| 14 |
fundamental, global, local or whatever. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Now I have two identical harddiscs: One is for daily usage and the second |
| 17 |
is an 1:1 image copy of the first one. |
| 18 |
Getting my system up again after -- for example -- a hard head creash |
| 19 |
is done in minutes: Change harddisk, reboot...Voila! |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
While building the new root I have attached an external 2.5" harddisk |
| 22 |
for temporary backups and snapshot of what I am trying to acchieve. |
| 23 |
|

Cheers |
