Use Deja Dup for LL 4.2 home directory backups? - Zontar41 - 02-13-2019
Linux newbie, just installed LL 4.2 a few days ago. Per the Getting Stated screen I ran TimeShift the first day I had LL installed and made a complete system backup/restore point, if I understand that software correctly.
Now I'm backing up my Home directory to an external USB drive, and I believe Deja Dup is the correct tool for that. I'm running Deja Dup now, the first backup Iv'e done using that tool, so it's taking some time, as expected.
Do I understand this correctly, that TimeShift should be used to take entire system "snapshots" , and Deja Dup should be used to back up the Home directory (data only) on a regular basis?
Thanks.
