   I don't know who wants to hear, but please test your backup. Restore files. How much time did it take? Did you succeed in getting back your data?

     @nixCraft As I tell all my clients "You don't need a backup system. You need a RESTORE system."

     (Yes, I know it's grammatically incorrect. My Poetic License is up-to-date so it's fine.)

     @nixCraft I think for home user who just use their computer for usual things should consider keeping their personal files in proper order and don't let it become a mess because that's exactly what I did for years and when I just wanted to get a really old file, things became really bad and search saved me but now I started cleaning up things. This is just for personal backups and keeping a directory structure that makes it easy for you to locate your files is always good.

     Wise words.

     Home computer.

     A month or two ago I found out I was making Time Shift backups improperly. I was annoyed, but I changed the way I did it.

     About a month later my system got hosed, and was easily fixed by using Time Shift.
