@kensanata you just reminded me to make a backup of my BIOS
@jalcine What do you do, exactly? I'm using Borg Backup to backup /etc and /home, but I keep thinking there should be a more complete backup. Something bootable, I guess? At the time I didn't get a good answer and so I settled on Borg Backup. https://alexschroeder.ch/wiki/2017-12-24_Borg_Backup
@kensanata I use tarsnap to back up my entire server (pre-encrypted and then tarsnaps encrypts it again). Like anything under / that's not blacklisted.
@jalcine Interesting. For my server, I use rsync and only backup /home and /etc as well. That usually means that getting everything back up using my notes takes about a day... 😭
@kensanata I might write about my current backup routine (I only know about if/when it fails - it hasn't for two years now!)
@kensanata that said, I haven't looked into good options for my laptop. I _could_ also use tarsnap.
