Thank God for backups!

[Daniel Carrera]

Hey,

I just had a scare. I almost lost all my important passwords and other 
critical data. But thanks to my backups I didn't.

You see, I deleted the ~/.kde directory thinking "I use Gnome, I don't 
need that". But I was forgetting that I use the KDE wallet (ie. password 
manager) to store all my private data (I have a LOT of passwords). Next 
time I clicked on the Wallet icon I got the message "You don't have any 
wallets". I think I felt my heart stop... but thankfully my system is 
setup to do daily backups. I quickly got my wallet back and didn't lose 
a single password.

The moral of the story: Backup your home directory.

Ubuntu has an easy to use backup tool, I highly recommend it. Install it 
right now, don't wait! : sudo aptitude install sbackup

After installing, go to System > Administration > Simple Backup Config. 
The default settings are great, you can take those.

Cheers,
Daniel.
