What can I use to find and copy to backup all of my .conf files on my !kubunt !ubuntu home server.

@ankhwatcher find / -name '.conf' -print0 | xargs -0 -I'{}' cp '{}' backup
-
@ankhwatcher elbow grease ;) Perhaps the find command with some operands?
-
@playya cool, do I need to create the folder first? Maybe ~/backup? Thank you.

@therealdave @playya I have 5 HDD's in Raid 10 and Raid 1 through mdadm on this linux box.
-
@therealdave @playya I'm terrified I won't be able to put them together again if I reinstall. (I run the OS from another HDD)
-
@ankhwatcher you should be able to rebuild them, so long as you dont format them. Can you do an upgrade?
-
@therealdave How do you mean?
-
@therealdave The upgrade has aborted. The upgrade needs a total of 19.9M free space on disk '/boot'. free at least an additional 11.3Mb
-
@ankhwatcher youll need to delete some stuff on /boot. Try deleting all but the latest kernel
-
@therealdave I finally coaxed !Ubuntu into updating!
-
@therealdave I've had to manually reinstall and fiddle with a whole load of applications but things seem to back up and running well.Thanks!
-
@ankhwatcher Good to hear mate :D
-
@playya @therealdave sudo find / -name "*.conf" -exec cp -n {} /media/1E7C15B77C158AA3/confs \;
