dumb backup question

[Tim M]

Hi, I have used Sbackup to the small file server I am learning on. I have
tried to restore a couple of times using sbackup and never have really
gotten it to work. Would it be simpler to just backup /home rather than mess
with backing up the other /var, /usr/local and /etc? The only way I have
been completely successful in restoring is by backing up my home directory.
I know it most likely takes much more time to do completely reload Ubuntu
and download updates. I might try to backup and restore this laptop later
today . . . just to see if I can get it to work.
