I also upgrade other distros but much less frequently. I have also had many crashes of various types over the years, including a large portion of self-inflicted ones. Past experience with data loss has made me very aware of the need for good backups. + +I back up many parts of my Linux hosts but my **/home** directory is especially important. Losing any of the data in **/home** on my primary workstation due to a crash or an upgrade could be disastrous. + +My backup strategy for **/home** is to back up everything every day. There are other things on every Linux system to back up but **/home **is the center of everything I do on my workstation. I keep my documents and financial records there as well as off-line emails, address books for different apps, calendar and task data, and most importantly for me these days, the working copies of my next two Linux books. + +I can think of a number of approaches to doing backups and restores of **/home** which would allow an easy and complete recovery after a data loss ranging from a single file to the entire directory. Which approach do you take? Which tools do you use? + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://opensource.com/poll/19/4/backup-strategy-home-directory-linux + +作者：[][a] +选题：[lujun9972][b] +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://opensource.com/users/dboth/users/don-watkins/users/greg-p +[b]: https://github.com/lujun9972 +[1]: https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/styles/image-full-size/public/lead-images/linux_keyboard_desktop.png?itok=I2nGw78_ (Linux keys on the keyboard for a desktop computer)
