Everybody is already old, in the future. And dead, in the future. And is in the other world, already, in the future... And we are all kids, in the past. But... But what is time? Just Thought of the Supreme Being...

I don't because I like total Air-Gap'ing, and whatever I bring from my online clone of the master Air-Gapped, back into the master Air-Gapped (mail, packages, all kinds of stuff) I try to very thoroughly scrutinize first. Meino, is it two systems, same model hardware? But see below.

Same MBO on both? Or not? Or just the HDD are the same model. That's cloning anyway if it's just HDDs. I use that, but it's also same MBO on at least two systems (method is good for even only one system, but it's probably too much work)... But I use Air-Gap'ing before cloning... And I generally can't get in trouble of not being able to revert... See for yourself (warning: before figuring out, I wondered a lot, even asked unclear question...): Air-Gapped Gentoo Install, Tentative https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-987268.html Postfix smtp/TLS, Bkp/Cloning Mthd, Censorship/Intrusion https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-999436.html#7613044 (that PART 2 is about the backup) > 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. Not completely understand the above... But I think Air-Gap'ing is what anybody who cares about security/privacy needs... Backup whithout Air-Gap'ing is not enough. > Cheers > Meino > > > Miroslav Rovis <miro.ro...@croatiafidelis.hr> [17-02-18 14:04]: > > On 170218-12:53+0100, meino.cra...@gmx.de wrote: > > > Johannes Rosenberger <gen...@jorsn.eu> [17-02-18 12:44]: > > > > On 18.02.2017 12:14, meino.cra...@gmx.de wrote: > > ... > > > > > > thanks for all your help! > > > "I am over 30...please help me to gentoo..." > > > ;) > > > Cheers > > > Meino Regards! -- Miroslav Rovis Zagreb, Croatia https://www.CroatiaFidelis.hr
