I mainly have some questions regarding Pika Backup and what I can do with it: 1) Can I back up my whole system using Pika/Borg Backup ? Can I install Fedora 33 on LVM(thick) and Ext4, and get back my root system as it were with Pika Backup ? 2) Or is it that I can just get back my /home directory, everything else will have to be installed and setup ? The reason I am asking these questions is because BTRFS did not work out for me. I want to go back to LVM(thick) with ext4. That gave no problems. -- Regards, Sreyan Chakravarty -- Regards, Sreyan Chakravarty
