Thread: Advice on which files should be backed up

-

all hdd give ghost (confusius 400 bc).

prevent teeth gnashing , hair pulling, believe wise move have backed files might needed , can't replaced or replicated new clean installation , installing available apps again.

but; folders/files should - forgetting rubbish , data files created since beginning? (what them more issue of emotion rather necessity).

appreciate advice on subject. storage space not problem, nor time backup.

code:
dpkg --get-selections > installedpackages.dat
