So we have basically 3 different reasons to backup:
- To archive our work (incremental backup)
- To restore our OS after a hardware failure (clone)
- To restore our OS after a software failure (backdated clone so you
don't copy the problem to your new installation and Preference settings
for all programs saved - if you know where they are. Where ARE most of
them?)
Am I missing anything?
-- If you lose thousands of digital photos of the wife's babies,
your life will become a living hell.
-- When it comes time to upgrade to a new piece of hardware
(drive, or even an entire system) they come in handy.
-- When some new bug/virus/trojan horse/malware/whatever comes
along and wipes out your goodies
-- peace of mind
-- you decide to try out the console for the first time, su to
root, and for some inexplicable reason type:
# rm -rf /
:-)
