It is a trusted companion when looking at the tail lights of the car in front of me, every day when I drive to work. My question may be stupid, but Google doesn’t give me a direct answer to following question: I want to reinstall my Linux Mint. When I make a backup of all my files (from /home) onto eg. a EXT4 USB drive (copy/paste), then I nuke the Mint install and reinstall from scratch, when I then restore the backed up /home data files, what happens with the rights on the file? (ownership & file permissions) Are they being brought across from the original install, or are they set correctly for the new install? Are there backup tools which make sure that file permissions are set correctly when restored on a new system? Many thanks in advance for your help.

I am so grateful that I did find it though. The very first episode I saw had Martin Wimpress on as a guest. The banter between Ryan and wimpy was the first thing that was able to make me laugh in months. I can’t describe how much I appreciate all of the hard work from the past and current lineup. You guys renew my passion and excitement for Linux every week. Thanks for helping create and maintain a community that cares about a project that is actually making a difference in the world. And a community where I can remain silent but still feel like I’m surrounded by friends in discord and telegram. Friends who love to talk about Linux and computers as much as I do and won’t perceive me as just some nerd that isn’t worth talking to. I feel home. All of your hard work is what keeps us going and drives us to want to learn more! I genuinely can’t thank you guys enough for everything you do. I’ll be around as long as DL is around.
