# The /home directories contain a lot of cruft such as caches, 
# configurations, and other.  Although some configuration files
# are worth backing up, oft times you might be better off starting fresh.
#
# Anyway, I want to set up a directory structure that will allow 
# for easy, single tree, backups.  
# Large public files: videos, images, books, music will probably
# need to be separate from the rest of the user data.
#
# The standard Linux directory structure can be found at:
# https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard
# 
# My proposal is to create a /data directory containing:

    sudo mkdir -p /data/personal/joyce
    sudo mkdir -p /data/personal/toby

    sudo mkdir -p /data/share/audio  or maybe music?
    sudo mkdir -p /data/share/book
    sudo mkdir -p /data/share/image/travel
    sudo mkdir -p /data/share/image/event
    sudo mkdir -p /data/share/video

    sudo chown -R toby /data/*
    sudo chmod 700 /data/personal
    sudo chmod -R 700 /data/personal/*
