No... I mean on my BBS box, I do backup all /files and... it's literally 500GB
or so. But of course, for my Linux I'm just backing up /home and a few other
spots where I hold my personal files. I also use a package that takes a
'snapshot' or basically a LISTING of every installed package on the system. 

Sometimes I'll forget what setup I have going, and I can go thru that listing
and select what to reinstall very quickly.

But, still, I'm backing up enough that speeds matter.
I mean... don't speeds kinda always matter, anyway?

:P
