it's a very personal matter of what to backup, i have a /sharedstuff
directory i always need to be backed up. if you need only your
personal stuff, that's all you need. i have 3 backup setups here:
* /home, /sharedtuff and excluding /home/willy/Music is one, and i run
it once per week.
*/home/willy/Music, i run this once per month since i rarely change them.
* everything else excluding /media and /mnt and few system directories
like /dev and /sys, and i run this backup every 2 weeks, since
damaging my system could be a disaster for me since downaloding all
the programs i have installed now would take me a few months ;)
