Which files to backup?

[Marco van den Oever]

I have an auto backup every day to a extra data disk, and one to 
external ftp, backing up entire pc so no need for individual checking...
Can remember checking what to backup from what program to what partition 
bladiebla, life got easier when changed to above backup process.

Just sharing my thoughts...
