Re: Backup and restore with rsync.

Going to babble some more (bet nobody saw that coming. )

While not spec to the topic, is associated with it. Mentioned the idea(BAD) of somebody keeping all eggs in 1 basket. Also even though I have a thumb-drive I could backup to now, if this old drive were to fail on me, I'd be boned. So the very sound concept of off-site backup is a dang good one ...

As mentioned are plenty of providers in the world who give a person whatever amount of free online cloud storage space. Am not recommending anyone in particular. Though the general idea is this type of thing. Rsync can easily backup over network too, many fairly straight forward ways of doing so are all uber-documented on the webz.

Also not touching on encryption methods etc etc. That's up to each nixer and also documented extensively online. Ok fellas, feel I've done my good babble deed in this, also ...

Note2self: Follow your own damn advice dude, this old hdd conks out, you're screwed !!! At least use the friggin usb drive, gawds !
