Let alone that a user regularly should backup important data to an external device, which is appropriate for this task, such as an USB HDD. Coping data to an USB stick is nearly as risky, as no backup at all. The term "copy" is squishy, if using the "cp" command to backup data, then using the "-a, --archive" option and at best with root privileges, even if those privileges shouldn't be required to backup $HOME. -- <a href="https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2018/01/spectre_and_mel_1.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2018/01/spectre_and_mel_1.html</a> ------------------------------ Subject: Digest Footer -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list <a href="mailto:Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com">Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss</a> ------------------------------ End of Ubuntu-devel-discuss Digest, Vol 135, Issue 5 **************************************************** </blockquote></div> </div>
