  <title>Where can I find the files I want to back up?</title>

  <p>Deciding which files to back up, and locating them, is the most difficult
 step when attempting to perform a backup. Listed below are the most common
 locations of important files and settings that you may want to back up.</p>

  <p>Asmeniniai failai (dokumentai, muzika, nuotraukos bei vaizdo įrašai)</p>
  <p its:locNote="translators: xdg dirs are localised by package xdg-user-dirs   and need to be translated.  You can find the correct translations for your   language here: http://translationproject.org/domain/xdg-user-dirs.html">These
  are usually stored in your home folder (<file>/home/your_name</file>).
  They could be in subfolders such as <file>Desktop</file>,
  <file>Documents</file>, <file>Pictures</file>, <file>Music</file> and
  <file>Videos</file>.</p>
  <p>If your backup medium has sufficient space (if it is an external hard
  disk, for example), consider backing up the entire Home folder. You can find
  out how much disk space your Home folder takes up by using the
  <app>Disk Usage Analyzer</app>.</p>

 <item>
  <p>Slepiami failai</p>
  <p>Any file or folder name that starts with a period (.) is hidden by
  default. To view hidden files, press the menu button in the top-right corner
  of the window of <app>Files</app> and press <gui>Show Hidden Files</gui>, or
  press <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>H</key></keyseq>. You can copy these to a
  backup location like any other file.</p>
 </item>

 <item>
  <p>Asmeniniai nustatymai</p>
  <p>Most applications store their settings in hidden folders inside your Home
 folder (see above for information on hidden files).</p>
  <p>Most of your application settings will be stored in the hidden folders
 <file>.config</file> and <file>.local</file> in your Home folder.</p>
 </item>

 <item>
  <p>Operacinės sistemos nustatymai</p>
  <p>Settings for important parts of the system are not stored in your Home
  folder. There are a number of locations that they could be stored, but most
  are stored in the <file>/etc</file> folder. In general, you will not need to
  back up these files on a home computer. If you are running a server, however,
  you should back up the files for the services that it is running.</p>
