How To Backup Your Funtoo With SystemRescueCD
With this little Wiki, you will be able to backup your Funtoo box in no time.
You will learn how to do it using 3 methods.
- TAR
- Rsync
- Rsync + daily snapshot
Why backup your box
Because we can have some major hardware problems and a good backup can save a lot of time too.
Why using Tar or Rsync
One of the main reason I use Rsync, it's because it's fast and you can make a snapshot in no time and it's pretty awesome since you can hardlink your daily snapshot to save a lot of backup space.
I also recommend Tar, because since it's an archive, you can burn it or move it inside an another partition or even on a USB stick.
