It used to be that one could do backups on a
home-based system. However,
softare to handle the backups just doesn't seem to be there. It's not
complicated, so one could, I suppose, roll-yer-own.
My solution has been to abandon backups, and to create archives instead.
When possible, I try to extract from the running system any configuration
info I'd need to get back to where I was, and include that in the archive
as well.
But backing up home systems in situ is problematic, since you generally
have to have a running system from which to restore the backup anyway.
