व्यक्तिगत फाइल्स (दस्तऐवज, संगीत, फोटोज आणि व्हिडीओज)

त्यांना सहसा होम फोल्डरमध्ये साठवले जाते (/home/your_name). ते उपफोल्डर्समध्ये जसे कि डेस्कटॉप, दस्तऐवज, चित्र, संगीत आणि व्हिडीओजमध्ये देखील असू शकतात.

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, click the View options button in the toolbar, and then choose Show Hidden Files, or press CtrlH. 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.
