Howdy,
What I'm not sure about is KDE config files. I googled and found out some
I was pretty sure of already. Examples, .config, .local, and .kde4 but there could be others that need to be backed up as well. Anyone know if that is all of them or am I missing some?
find ~/.kde ~/.kde4 -mtime -180will tell you which files in there are newer than 180 days. Modify

Howdy,I guess it depends on the applications you use. I think the directories you mentioned have all you need. I looked at my laptop, whose user directory harkens back to 2016. I still have ~/.kde (without any files) and ~/.kde4, but the only files in there that are newer than at least 9 months is .kde4/share/config/kdeglobals (modified 1 week ago, I probably changed some keyboard shortcuts) and theme files from Breeze inside .kde4/share/apps/color-schemes/.

Look for yourself:
find ~/.kde ~/.kde4 -mtime -180will tell you which files in there are newer than 180 days. Modify
parameters to your liking.

how to get rsync to do that yet.
Howdy,
As some know, I've rearranged some hard drives and data recently. Got
the data moved into the new places. Given those changes, I'm also
having to adjust my backups as well. Before, I just backed up
/home/dale and told rsync to exclude a few large directories that needed
to be stored on other drives. I reversed for the other drive. Anyway,
I'm splitting things up differently now. What I'm not sure about is KDE config files. I googled and found out some I was pretty sure of
already. Examples, .config, .local, and .kde4 but there could be others
that need to be backed up as well. Anyone know if that is all of them

I already have .mozilla backed up locally. That takes care of my web browsers, Seamonkey and Firefox which includes emails.

Many Greetings,

Another interesting tidbit I found about rsync, --dry-run.
(I do backup "only" /etc and /home ... yes, I know, if my SSD breaks I
have to do a new gentoo installation; but with all settings in /etc no problem)
