Oooo kaaaaay. Let's try another #linux question. So far though, either you guys aren't very helpful or I'm not asking the right way.
It's probably me right?
Best way to backup a Linux workstation? The ability to re-install and then shoot the backed up file structure back in place is what I'm looking for.
@thewismit btrfs is absolutely the best if your willing to use it. nothing comes close. but bear in mind its a fs. I use it wit btrbk to do the backing up. It kicks off every hour and keeps hour incremented backups with very little space per backup.
@thewismit I use it on all my boxes. creates instant local snapshots and external backups are incremental. Can even do its own raid setup optionally.
