After doing a lot of shuffling around with which files are stored on what drives, I've got a few things I could really do with some help on if you guys could?
1. I have an external storage/backup drive which is only accessed by Linux. However, I do plan to backup some of my WIndows files onto there via KXStudio (I can just access the WIndows partition from KXStudio I think). Are there any downsides to using NTFS file format for this drive as far as Linux files are concerned (other than more fragmenting)? And what about the other way round - will using EXT4 cause any issues for the WIndows files (other than not being able to access them from Windows, which is not actually a problem for me)?
2. I plan on backing up my KXStudio Home folder to this external drive. Are there any other directories it'd also be useful to backup? For example, on WIndows I like to backup the "AppData" folder as that contains a lot of program settings and makes it easier when reinstalling..
3. What would be a good program for doing these backup tasks? The way I like to do backups is one full, then a bunch of incrementals.. I had a look in Synaptic for backup programs, but so much stuff came up and I had no idea what to get (a lot of it seemed irrelevant too). I find the package manager in Linux Mint to be a bit more user friendly/easy to spot good programs. I feel like I just have a sea of random results in KXStudio :/ Sorry, I don't mean to talk badly of KXStudio, I just feel a bit lost with the package manager at times..
Hope you guys can help.. I'm looking forward to being at a stage where I can start helping others out by answering questions around here..
Thanks
