wouldn’t this take a lot of time? but I can see the advantage, being able to just roll back whatever happened

I’ll think about it, thank you very much!

Wow this is amazing! thank you very much for the super detailed answer! exactly what I was looking for!

This is actually very interesting! I’ll gladly look into it, thank you very much!

thanks for the reply! Yes for sure I’m backing up all the /home directory, but I’d like to preserve also important configurations like ssh, cronjob etc, but I don’t really know which directories are important for this and which are not

thanks for the reply!

How do you plan to restore if the whole drive dies?

good point: I guess if the problem is that I messed something up I may just run the backup script in reverse? if the problem is HW then I’d have to reinstall and then restore the backupped directory probably is there a “standard” way?
