Personal comment: the author admits that he is not familiar with Linux. He
uses a strong and, in this context, unrealistic term: "Disaster", which
perhaps refers to hardware faults. In Linux, full recovery is simple, as
well as free (also as in free beer). As everything is a file, the home
directory can merely be copied. For complete backups:
man dd
