Home is not a seperate partition. I’ve seen a couple of commands like copying but also compressing a directory but i’m confused how to set the path right because should i like set it to /mnt/home/user or something I’m not sure.
Reasons why I’m wanting to backup everything is because i wan’t to try reinstalling Fedora 37 as there were some problems that you can see in this discussion
I think there is an easier way to backup your /home data without chrooting into your existing installation.
You can simply boot a Fedora Live media and use Files (Gnome’s file manager) to copy important files to external drive (or network share, or whereever).
1.) boot Fedora Live system
2.) mount internal drive that has /home
3.) mount backup drive
4.) copy data from one location to the other
Backing up the users $HOME would give the user a copy of everything in and under their home directory. Nothing else would be backed up and in most cases everything that is directly related to that user would be saved.
