From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

yeah good advice
i'd copy/rsync /home folder to a usb. regularly.
.
if you have a lot of symlinks, then make a simple bash script that'll recreate them.
also worth having a bash script that installs all your packages , and makes any config changes (copies edited files ) should you need to start again for any reason.(fire / theft / disk failure).
cloud is ok as a 3rd backup - but i regard it more for portability and remote access than as a primary backup. whoever owns it can go bust, or have downtime, or get hacked etc.
