* question on backup @ 2011-10-27 7:24 Paul Allen Newell 2011-10-27 11:26 ` Ken Brown 0 siblings, 1 reply; 6+ messages in thread From: Paul Allen Newell @ 2011-10-27 7:24 UTC (permalink / raw) To: cygwin; +Cc: pnewell Hello to all: My question is how do I get an archive of what cygwin packages I have installed. I have googled and only find info on how to do a full backup of the tree. I did a bit of a hunt through the cygwin email archives but only found one tidbit about "something used to work but doesn't now". I would like to capture the info in a file. Whether it can be used in an install on a new machine is academic (though that would be nice). I just want a record in case I have to do a new install and want to know what I had before. Thanks in advance, Paul -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Just read the docs, test drove it per docs, and its definitely better than what I was originally looking for. Thanks!
