Normally its better practice to have the server configuration stored in a declarative way like ansible or similar and only store the userdata in the backup.
So you can fast and easy reinstall your server including all of its config files and then clone the usage data like dbs or files into the new machine. This is more reliable and also faster than just do a full dump of the system.

I’m between distros and looking for a new daily driver for my laptop. What are people daily driving these days? Are there any new cool things to try?...
Back then I did not know what that dependency was. So apt-get uninstall dpkg felt okish for me.
The funny thing is, apt forces you to type “yes I know what I am doing!”, but even that did not kill my flow here. I misspelled the sentence twice, than copied it and pressed enter…
After I tried to compile dpkg again but decided relatively soon it’s time for the next distro hop.
They have no packages but do a full patch of the system data. Since this is the most complex approach and almost everything can go wrong down to the core they spend most of the time with checking and cleaning state.
