What a share.

Thankksssss you very much Its saved for the comments too

Selinux policy’s. Its weakness, also its strenght.

Ofc. This is the way,

I will really go take a look on it XD,
U Said it,

I mean, I’m sure that, given enough effort, you can set up some job using a shell script that uses rsync internally and generates incremental backups, the same way rdiff-backup does, but then you’re basically heading down the path of reimplementing rdiff-backup.

Then u can just use gpg on your rsync backups ? Like u said it to me, ur solution is the best.

Personally, I’m not in IT to feed me, I just use rsync+tar, depending the context. Regex it can be cool but hey tools exists.

And ty then ^^"

To be honest i should check how rdiff works, i dont know it. Because i would have guess it does that too, if you saying me its working on rsync.

And tar+rsync isnt an option ?

after reading fast,

theses two links can help you to start i guess,

https://linuxconfig.org/rsync-command-examples https://devhints.io/rsync

for snapshot depending your filesystem, the function included/built-in, to manage it, can be better.

I agree with dan’s comment,
Use rsync first to sync your home, or wallpapers,
You will figure out, how it work, with the good options,

And then you will do an script or crontab for you personnally, depending what you want to save, how, and how many times.

Rsync, can restore files, delete files. Basycally its an file manager XD
Like for /etc/ you maybe want to replace file and do an copy of it before if they have the same name. But not for your picture’s folder.

Learn, and read doc of rsync, use it, on low importance files, and you will manage regarding your needs :).

OFC you can ask for specific help,
I just dont want to tell you how to do something if im not sure its good regardings your needs.

Edit : Check “tar” too maybe,

maybe i will say an big mistake, But if you use “date” within an bash’s script, you can do multiples backups, and remove the ones who are too old.

For example,
u can do an first archive,
and then,
bash scrpt doing, an copy of the first archive, then increment the copy with rsync.

and in the time, let say 2month,
ur bash script can delete file olders than one month.
Just for example, u can do that on an year.

Do you know rsync ? If yes why it isn’t good ?

You can even save uuid, files permissions, owners, this kind of things with it

Its the good choice if you feel it like this ! :D

You are speaking and acting like you can’t have an BSOD with an unknown .exe downloaded somewhere,

Lmao,

I did too, but with dualboot to keep windows next. Since 2013 its as monoboot, or if I have an dual its 2 linux/BSD but not an msdos system. 😊

Sorry too,

A lot of documentation suppose, you like to know what you doing and why.

But if u do an tldr, and focus on the command lines, its often working out of the box and its like following an tutorial with picture to tell you where to click. Supposing you reading the good tuto regarding your distribution.

I like the doc, I feel it like respect.

I feel it like, they don’t suppose I’m an engineer but they suppose I have an brain an can learn new principles or acquire new vocabulary (one of the life’s constant in a way) to understand what I do. And often theses principles can be applied elsewhere, even IRL sometimes.

I’m not an engineer XD.

Yeah clearly, that’s why I did start by saying I don’t know the situation of OP.

I’m speaking as an user/gamer, who do things just for myself mainly ^^

I don’t have the same consideration and focus as an freelancer like you. Clearly.

I don’t know your situation. I’m not an graphsit.

But what I’ve discovered,
There is nothing better to apply an self strict boycott, to learn other tools like gimp or others.

In the gaming, the boycott work as a filter though, which game I can or I can’t.
And that’s fine, and more the time is going on, and more its better and I don’t feel my boycott hurting me so much. I’ve discovered (by my self, I knew it) apex legends last year to tell you XD

I’m running windows and others craps at work.

Like this, its working as a daily vaccine for me 🤣

Daily Linux user since 2013, specifically since the Snowden’s leaks.

Go Debian stable, you will be well. Use the non-free repo too, if you have an nvidia card,

Concerning the screens, Its not that ez for gaming BC of differences in the screens refreshments or this kind of things, but you will have your screens working directly,

Gl & HF

Why would you do that !

I’m running windows at work because I don’t have the choice. This fucking windows and all of their craps like teams…
Like work isn’t enough. 🤯 Poor PCs, poor us,

You speak about collaboration and even gov forms as an intro 🫣🙃
