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