Help What the heck should I backup now?

[Claghorn]

The storage organization of 4.2 is confusing the heck out of me:

I see that /sdcard is no longer a mountpoint, but a symlink to /storage/emulated/legacy.

I've been backing up /sdcard, if I start backing up /storage/emulated/legacy instead will that get all the same stuff backed up?

There are a lot of other mysterious mountpoints to device mapper stuff as well, almost like every app has its own mountpoint. I have no idea what that is about.

Not sure how to answer your question but did they do this because of the multiple user accounts?

Yes they did and it has caused a lot of confusion and chaos. Developers are scrambling to update their apps. People are having a hard time restoring anything from backups made before the OTA. I'm pretty sure it will get sorted out, but I really miss having my read/write OTA Usb storage. Come on Stickmount or Usb Ota Helper.
