What is your linux backup strategy?
Can you please share your backup strategies for linux? I'm curious to know what tools you use and why?How do you automate/schedule backups? Which files/folders you back up? What is your prefered hardware/cloud storage and how do you manage storage space?

The only thing I use as a backup is a Live CD that's mounted to a USB thumb drive.
I used to use Timeshift but the one time I needed it, it didn't work for some reason. It also had a problem of making my PC temporarily unusable while it was making a backup, so I didn't enable it when I had to reinstall Linux Mint.
Same, Timeshift let me down one time when I needed it. I still use it though, and I'm afraid to upgrade Mint because I don't want to set my system again for of the upgrade fails to keep my configuration and Timeshift fails to take me back
