From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is it just me or the backup topic is recurring each few days on [email protected] and [email protected]?
To be on topic as well - I use restic+autorestic combo. Pretty simple, I made repo with small script to generate config for different machines and that's it. Storing between machines and b2.
It is a critical one. Maybe needs to be part of an FAQ with link to discussion.
It hasn't succeeded in nagging me to properly back up my data yet, so I think it needs to be discussed even more.
I would argue you need to lose your data once to consider it important over a lot of useless things in your life. Most people are like this.
