Newbie - wanting to start back up proceedure.

linux stores all your personal data in /home/YoureUsernameHere
so simply burning your homefolder is a good simple choice.
open the cd/dvd-creator in nautilus and drag your homefolder in it.
then file > burn to disc
or if you only want some specific olders:
open nautilus hit Ctrl+H to see the hidden folders (beginning with .)
and drag the folders you want in the cd-creator-window.
