As someone that still considers themself to be a linux n00b, I learn from tutorials and guides. All these tutorials and other help that all of you contribute to LET (and elsewhere) is appreciated - there is no doubt about that.
However, I've noticed that while there are tons of tutorials for installing almost any application or script, there are far fewer (if any) guides for backing up and restoring individual applications and their data and configurations. Sometimes, you want to only backup that one specific application and its associated files (whether it's for creating backups or for recreation or copying to another server), not your entire server.
Is this something that other people would also find useful or am I completely oblivious to some automated application+data+configuration backup technique?
(sorry if I didn't select the most appropriate category)
