+* Backing up your system

+Its a good idea to back things up often and sometimes you might want to backup
+your entire system. Full system backups can be big but lucky for us linux makes
+it easy to make compressed backups.
+1. Make a live linux fucking usb. [[https://antixlinux.com][AntiX]] is a great option for your fucking usb.
+2. Boot off the fucking usb.
+3. Get a disk to put your backup on. A usb drive often isnt enough for full
+ system backup. Get yourself an external harddrive!
+4. Run =lsblk= to find your systems harddrive. *Make sure to use the correct drive.*
+5. Run =sudo dd if=/dev/<your harddrive> bs=64k status=progress | gzip -c /PATH/TO/DRIVE/backup.img.gz=
+6. Remember: dd stays for /disk destroyer/ because
+ *if you fuck up it will destroy your disk*.
+7. To restore run =gunzip -c /PATH/TO/DRIVE/backup.img.gz | sudo dd of=/dev/<your harddrive> status=progress=
