Under that scenario, you only need to back up the home directory with all your custom configuration changes. And any data on the system that isn't replaceable from the repositories. But, you could keep that custom data on a separate partition, backed up separately, so that it doesn't have to be re-installed when you re-install the system. Just linked again in fstab. I guess that would probably work for home, as well (I don't do that, so I don't know).
The drawback is that this will be slow. All the downloading and dnf validation. And unless you have a lot of memory, it would probably have to be done in steps. A tradeoff of length of time to recover vs space to store an actual backup. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
