It is said that there are 2 types of people: Those that do backups and
those that have never lost important data...

1/ tar for simplicity and ad-hoc (before, say changing config files) and
bacula for my daily backups.

2/ Full only

3/ entire system excluding .mp3 files I can replace easily.

4/ every day/every working day
