Hi TheFU:

I had not thought about encryption.

I can see from what you've written that perhaps the best thing for me is to try a few things to see what works for me.

I thought Timeshift would be a good solution, but it wiped out my home directory. Then, ignoring my advice, a friend tried Timeshift, and it wiped out his home directory.

Malware? Geeze!

I think that in all my testing one main thing is to have a back or copy elsewhere if things really go wrong.
