#APTIK VS GRSYNC INSTALL#

In my case I'd have to re-install.the OS.Google Chrome and all my add-ons to both Chrome and Firefox.Virtual Box and my VM and all the software in my VM and any software I've installed on the OS.ДЄnother good thing about having a System Image you can install it on another Computer or HDD.something Microsoft would never allow. Since moving to Linux I've noticed most people just backup files and folders which is fine.but what happens if your HDD fails.

To create a System Restore point just like in windows I use Timeshift which works great.month to month.

It's very easy to use.just download the iso and burn it to a ug in an external hard drive.create a folder and name it what ever you like.I call mine Mint Backup.Д«oot to the disk and select lect Source drive then Destination which is the folder you created and away you go. I have found the perfect way to do just ing a free software called Redo Backup and Recovery which creates a System Image of the whole HDD including the Operating System. The only downsides to this model, aside from the fact that you didn't start out your storage scheme this way, are: For some performance reason the OS and the data need to be on the same drive, or you use LXD and the containers and their database must be on the same drive. Thus your data is backed up continuously. That way you can export and then import the zpool on the separate drive when rebuilding the OS (or it has crashed on the SSD irreparably.) Or most importantly zfs mirror that separate disk with zfs onto a third disk.

Now the key to it all: the separate drive should have one zfs zpool on it, with all your user file systems in that pool. This separate disk can be a big capacity spinning internal (inside the case) disk or external hard disk (USB3.0, ESATA), big capacity USB3.0 thumbdrive, etc. If you are the only user, your home folders on a separate hard disk. Probably you haven't deployed this model, but a very modern and easy way is to have your user data (all the home folders for each user, except possibly the administrator) on a separate hard disk. With a simple copy this is the easiest way to do this. Advantage: It might be, that you find, that you want to restore some, but not all of the settings files (for system and programs). After restoring this temporary backup can easily get deleted.

The advantage of this method compared with incremental backups: If you want to a restore from any of the older backups (you may have after some time a number of them), you only need to restore from this single backup (BiT calls them snapshots), so no restore from the last full backup and then another restore from the incremental backup.Д«esides that: For the purpose to backup just for a new install I recommend the method by simply copying the files and folders. This makes it necessary, that the backed up files are readable for the program, with compressing this would mean a tremendous waste of time. BiT backs up in every session the complete source, but - and this is the important part, which saves space and time - every file, which is already in an older backup and had not been changed since the last backup (so very identical), does not get physically copied again, but a hard link gets created instead.

Back in Time can encrypt the backup, but not compress it.
