Simply copying/restoring all files in /home will
superficially recreate your settings, however, system-wide programs,
such as apache, store their files in /etc . I suggest you backup all
of the applicable folders from /etc , and copy them back AFTER you
install the applications again, and hopefully your settings will be
maintained. To prevent future headaches, I suggest you maintain /home on a
SEPARATE partition, and perform backups regularly. Having /home on a
separate partition has many benefits, more than I have the time/energy to
get into deeply. Believe it or not, I just got off work (5:00AM !!!).
Best of luck,
Tom McKay
