this question could indicate your backup strategy is incomplete.
Bam! Ask a simple question on the internet and watch your flaws come to revelation!
Well i guess, i don't really have whole system backups, but not much important data to be lost either, i know backups are good, but i don't want my storage to go all on that...
Plus a broken boot on linux doesn't necessarily means all files were lost right? (Unless storage is encrypted, which mine isn't, but that's a different case)
Depending on how big and how full your HD is, you could just get a 1TB or 500GB USB stick and back up onto that.
Yeah, a broken boot doesn't mean it's lost, but you may need to boot into some Linux to fix it. Having an option like that would be part of a complete backup.
Yeah, i usually have a bootable usb with some Linux distro laying around exactly for cases like that
Thanks for the advice there!
