Hello!... If what you use now meets your needs to your satisfaction, it's probably best to 'go the course' with it...

I agree, Rob. I should have remembered, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.  8)

Hello!

Redo works fine on either LiveUSB or CD, and can be used to back up your entire internal hard drive to an external. I do this all the time to back up my dual-boot setups (which almost all of mine are).

You MIGHT be able use Redo to backup to DVD, but I have never tried this. I imagine this would only work if the hard drive itself held less than a DVD's worth of data, as Redo doesn't span volumes.

If what you use now meets your needs to your satisfaction, it's probably best to 'go the course' with it...

I think the idea behind aptik is just to save settings/configs.
So if you plan to make some changes, it will be a quick backup, rather than waiting for a full deja-dup to do it's job.?

Not sure if I need to change backup program to two programs since Deja Dup is working. I think it will save my desktop but wondering if I should or just set it up again if I reinstall.  :-\

Hi Coastie,

Not sure on your DVD questions..

But for your settings backup, look at Aptik

I read about Redo in www.linuxliteos.com/forums/index.php?topic=1561.msg11043 topic. I use Deja Dup to back up my doc, pictures, .mozilla, .thunderbird, etc. but not my desktop settings. Not sure how or if I should backup my desktop settings. I have used these backups moving up in versions of Linux Lite.

Is Redo just a different or is it a better back up program. If Redo is in the DVD drive will it back up to a separate writable CD drive? How big of a USB would I need? Does it need a separate USB from the one that Deja Dup uses?

I do have an external hard drive that my iMac uses with Mac Time Machine. Plenty of room but I do not know if Redo and Time Machine will share it.
