<p>For a personal Debian desktop system running <code class="literal">unstable</code> suite, I only need to protect personal and critical data. I reinstall system once a year anyway. Thus I see no reason to backup the whole system or to install a full featured backup utility.</p>
<p>I use a simple script to make a backup archive and burn it into CD/DVD using GUI. Here is an example script for this.</p>

<p>VCS is sometimes known as revision control system (RCS), or software configuration management (SCM).</p>
<p>Distributed VCS such as Git is the tool of choice these days. CVS and Subversion may still be useful to join some existing open source program activities.</p>
<p>Debian provides free VCS services via <a class="ulink" href="http://alioth.debian.org/">Debian Alioth service</a>. It supports practically all VCSs. Its documentation can be found at <a class="ulink" href="http://wiki.debian.org/Alioth">http://wiki.debian.org/Alioth</a> .</p>
<p>There are few basics for creating a shared access VCS archive.</p>
