 To reduce the traffic, and to limit backing up needless data (i.e. don't just backup the whole of $HOME) I have an ''exclude'' file that lists files and directories that should be ignored. To reduce the traffic, and to limit backing up needless data (i.e. don't just backup the whole of $HOME) I have an ''exclude'' file that lists files and directories that should be ignored.

 +The backups are saved in a remote Directory called "devuan" - the laptop being backed up is running Devuan linux and has the hostname ''devuan''
 +
 +I also backup a mirror of the wiki to the local NAS and Laptop hosts (as long as I remember to pull a backup/mirror down from the wiki server first). There's no point in backing //this// up to the remote VPS - since that's the machine where the wiki lives in the first place!
