I use borg and am very happy with it. As Chris, I only backup /home,

I back /home and /etc because if I missed a config change then I need
/etc to rebuild.
As pointed out a list of installed packages is use full to backup as well.
I put that info in a file in /etc.
That's a good idea. I truthfully don't use users because no one but me
uses my machine. I know everyone says use a normal user and just sudo
into root. But all I access is in root anyway, so I just login. I too
just backup what I want at this point. Is it safe btw to erase all the
invisible files in the /home root directory? Bash scripts and all? I
erase a few root scripts that applications make and send to /~ but I am
very careful.
Does anyone still use clonzilla or partimage? They are a bit aged.
(I keep all config in a svn repo - so should not need the /etc backup.
But sometimes
I miss an edit that matters and the /etc backup is noise compared to
/home).
Some times I have critical app data in /var and back that up as needed.
