<font face="Verdana">At a minimum, I would backup:<br>
<br>
/home<br>
/root<br>
/etc (particularly</font><font face="Verdana"> passwd, shadow, group,

/usr/local<br>

Also take a look at what's in /var, and if you can, just tarball the
whole thing. Some of the directories that commonly need to be backed up
there are:<br>
<br>
/var/spool/cron<br>
/var/lib/mysql<br>
/var/www<br>

I am, finally, going to update this FC-7 box to FC-11.
~/home is backed up to an external hard drive.
Are there any config files that I really should save before
I hose everything but the /home partition?
Sean,
who would rather be safe now than sorry later. :0
