Hello all,

When I reinstall ubuntu (8.10), which directories can I restore from backup? I want to make this as easy as possible. I spent quite a long time configuring my 32bit version.

My intention was to restore /home and /etc.

Thanks,

Mike

Your home directory and /etc are as far as I am concerned, the two directories I always backup, as long as have the same programs installed you shouldn't have any problems.
