RE: Which system directories to backup in Linux?
Well, if you're restoring the files after a re-install you shouldn't restore the /boot directory. About the /etc directory I'd manually restore just specific files...
Thanks for your time to comment on this, I include the /boot directory because some users with dual boot may need it. I agree that some files in /etc directory are unnecessary but it'd be difficulty for inexperienced users (including me) to select them one-by-one, so to save more time I'd just save & restore the whole directory. Please share your opinion here if you have one :)
