To accomplish this task, follow these steps:

1.	Open a terminal window, and then switch to root with the su command.
2.	From the KDE kicker, click on the icon of a monitor to open a terminal shell. Optionally, from the menu, select System, Terminal, and then Konsole.
3.	Type the command `cd /`.
4.	Type the command `mkdir recovery`.
5.	Type the command `rsync avz /home /recovery`.

Although other utilities besides rsync can be used (cp, for example), this will create a mirror of what is in the other directory, maintaining the same permissions, ownership, and all other information.

To keep the two directories mirrored, an rsync command can be added to cron to run on a regular basis.
