1)All my mails (i use kmail) ...
2)How can i restore them in case of crash?
3)Firefox bookmarks
4)Konquerors bookmarks
5)Suggest me other stuff to back up plz

all this stuff should be in your home dir I usualy just tar it up for reinstalls or moving to a new computer something like this:
then to restore your home dir just copy the file you made to /home/ and:

If you can "tar" something in Linux, can you also "feather" it?
And--if we have "tarballs", can "hairballs" be far behind?

Sorry--I allow myself just a few stupid puns per day--LQ just happened to get in the line of fire.....;)

Thx a lot but if my pc is broken i dont know what files i should replace and which not

aren't you a senior memeber??? eh :eek:

you can back everything up using something like cpio or fbackup.

You can use the dump (don't know if it comes with all distrobutions) to backup. I have not tested to use it linux but "ufsdump in Solaris" that its quite simualr is quite good when you want to back up a filesystem.
