Thank you, everyone!

I’m thinking rsync is going to be my best bet, then I can restore things as needed without messing anything up in hidden folders. I have a spare hard drive I can use as a lifeboat but should that be in ext4 or btrfs? Or does it even matter?

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who experiences weekend time warp! 9am to 11am Saturday is a dream, and suddenly its 3:30pm on a Sunday and you hate yourself.
