बॅकअप करण्याजोगी फाइल्स कुठे आढळतील?

बॅकअप करताना कोणत्या फाइल्स्चे बॅकअप घ्यायचे, आणि त्यांना शोधणे, सर्वात कठिण टप्पा आहे. खालील सर्वात महत्वाच्या फाइल्सचे ठिकाण आणि बॅकअपजोगी सेटिंग्जची सूची आहे.

  • व्यक्तिगत फाइल्स (दस्तऐवज, संगीत, फोटोज आणि व्हिडीओज)

    These are usually stored in your home folder (/home/your_name). They could be in subfolders such as Desktop, Documents, Pictures, Music and Videos.

    If your backup medium has sufficient space (if it is an external hard disk, for example), consider backing up the entire Home folder. You can find out how much disk space your Home folder takes up by using the Disk Usage Analyzer.

  • लपवलेल्या फाइल्स

    Any file or folder name that starts with a period (.) is hidden by default. To view hidden files, press the menu button in the top-right corner of the window of Files and press Show Hidden Files, or press Ctrl+H. You can copy these to a backup location like any other file.

  • वैयक्तिक सेटिंग (डेस्कटॉप पसंती, थीम, आणि सॉफ्टवेअर सेटिंग)

    अनेक ॲप्लिकेशन्स होम फोल्डर अंतर्गत त्यांच्या सेटिंग्ज छुप्या फोल्डर्समध्ये साठवतात (छुप्या फाइल्सविषयी अधिक माहितीकरिता वरील पहा).

    Most of your application settings will be stored in the hidden folders .config and .local in your Home folder.

  • सिस्टीम-विस्तृत सेटिंग

    Settings for important parts of the system are not stored in your Home folder. There are a number of locations that they could be stored, but most are stored in the /etc folder. In general, you will not need to back up these files on a home computer. If you are running a server, however, you should back up the files for the services that it is running.
