    Because backing stuff up is a pain, especially if you want to back up your entire operating system and not just your home folder. It’s taken me a fair bit of work and a lot of know-how to set up Borg Backup to do that, including writing a custom script to safely fsck, mount, and unmount the backup drive.

      True. I am working on some scripts so I can simply do a fresh install and then it’s all setup the way I like it. Some parts are easy but others a bit more complex. But then I still need to make backups of the important stuff. I kinda use Google Drive for that though it’s not really a backup because all local changes are streamed to it. That will suck in the event of a ransomware attack.
