Hi,
My Debian system is getting to have so many packages installed
that backing it up is becoming difficult. Ideally I'd like to
only back up the files which I can't restore by re-installing
the packages.
Does anyone have a scheme or suggestions for backing up:
* all files
* except those that are part of Debian packages
* but including those files that have been modified from
the distribution version
* and including those files that are dpkg-divert'd
* and state information of which packages are installed
so the same ones can be installed again?
I currently back up to a removable SparQ disk. I use 'tob' but
am not adverse to switching to another program.
Thank you for any help or suggestions,
--
