most of movies , songs and other stuff is already on that 5tb drive , on garuda , it would be 60gb of csgo i guess and manjaro will be having some css and html files followed by 2 vm’s and in endeavour it would be vm’s and some screen recordings
then it should not be a problem - why back up stuff that is already backed up?
can you please suggest a few that can do the job ,
like i don’t have long hours of cut but they usually take a 2 minute cut every 3-4 hours , and the UPS , isn’t able to take load anymore and system shuts down , so will that be a problem , because i know if during repatriation of a drive the light goes , then data is gone and its corrupt
just to be safe in case , okay , i’ll look through all the important files and try to back up them and when i feel okay , i’ll bother you for help 
no, not really.
If I say what I’d use, you’d not consider that to be a good option.
… likely …
rsync is what I’d likely use - in most circumstances
into a compressed tar file if I was space constrained
Just do it, try it, learn how the different options work.

okay , will go to sleep now , and then tomorrow , look at all the options , then i’ll try
this as one last rescue , if not , then wipe it out all :))
goodnight everyone , take care
this is just my curiosity speaking:
would you be willing and able to tell which part of the world this kind of thing is “normal”, apparently?
… regular power cuts?
a UPS for regular home use?
that’s horrible - compared to what I’m used to
but it may come to this soon enough here, too …
What I can say:
never in my quite long life have I ever had to even consider this, much less to actually deal with it.
Cheers!
According to List of countries grouped by UTC offset - Time.is it could be one of four:
Power cuts were a regular thing in Kenya, even in the city (Nairobi). Most evenings and sometimes during the day, usually for maybe half an hour or so. Brownouts too.
less power cuts would be a sign of progress in these countries/areas
any power cuts would definitely not be good sign elsewhere, where they did not used to happen, by may be happening now …
A lot of places from what I’ve read.
Based roughly on time zone and the usage of “sir”, I’d guess somewhere that used to be under British control and isn’t in @BG405’s list.
that is why I asked - I didn’t want to just go with speculation and “data” on some countries
(which I already knew)
no problem if he does not want to share … it was just a question
I didn’t even try to look at a time zone …
Fair enough, I just can’t help guessing. I could easily be wrong though.

War nur 'ne Frage.
Goodness gracious.
It was just a question.
Out of MY curiosity.

Yeah, the usage of “sir” was enough.

Mine too!
I hadn’t noticed that, but then it’s still in fairly common usage amongst some friends.

enough for what?
If you’d press me, I’d associate that with India.
But that would be my bias speaking -
and what I very simply just don’t know … of other regions of the world
A guess…mostly based on youtube videos.
Same here. However it’s only a guess.
And now for something completely different:
Here’s a list:

Don’t use timeshift for backing up data, it’s a system restore utility.
Then a chunk based utility, such as borg, might be better. However that would add a bit of complexity.

Yes. And then those 3 will appear in the uefi menu.
