If you do NOT currently use a desktop OS but are curious (or hesitant) about it: what questions or concerns do you have?

@killyourfm I currently use Linux, but am still fairly new.

My biggest concern long term is how restoring from a backup works.

I’m coming from macOS where Time Machine and apps like SuperDuper/Carbon Copy Cloner make it so easy.

@mike Thanks Mike. While I can't answer that directly, I appreciate the input and it's going to inform a lot of my coverage next year.

On the Linux side, I've found DejaDup and (especially) Aptik to be awesome, but the latter is a paid app and only works for Debian-based distributions, which is indicative of the wider problem...

There's definitely not a universal "Linux way" to do backups!
