 3. Another option is to use backup. If you want to use backup, don't include the "norestore" boot option. Then edit /opt/.filetool.lst. If you are using persistent home and opt, delete all references to the home and opt directories. In the version I am using, that is everything. Add a list of files and directories you want backed up to /opt/.filetool.lst. 3. Another option is to use backup. If you want to use backup, don't include the "norestore" boot option.

You can add a list of these to /opt/.xfiletool.lst, but it may be easier to backup a different directory. Be aware: If you backup /home/tc there are a lot of hidden files.
