Theres a simple tweak that fixes most of that stuff: move /usr/local to /home local and replace it with a symlink to /home/local I've done the the equivalent with my (large) PostgreSQL databases and my local Apache- based website (by default these are in /var, so I changed their configurations to put these files in /home too. Everything continues to work as before but now I've secured almost all of my own work and customisation by backing up /home The only thing thats not safeguarded now is the contents of /etc, so either back that up along with /home or keep copies of everything in /etc that you've explicitly changed in, say, your normal home login. I do the latter but of course ymmv. Changes in /etc made by software updates don't need backing up because they'll be automatically reapplied when you're rebuilding the failed device that holds your filing system. -- -- Martin | martin at Gregorie | gregorie dot org
