Thank you, ckobu; and thank you for asking, Lee Batchelor.
I now feel good about completely backing up my Genos.
I will set aside a drive partition; not huge, perhaps 50GB.
I will dump everything to this drive partition on my PC.
I will take a monthly complete backup, and I will take
differential backups otherwise daily, weekly, etc.
I believe these backups can be scheduled to run automatically.
I think that this has been a wonderful discussion.
Also partial backups are nice so as to not need a full restore.
Thank you, all. It has been quite the education.
Note to self: Don't forget to backup any and all usb sticks
that contain any user files, etc.
