Backup and Restore Software in Ubuntu, Sabayon, and Fedora

9:32 AM
In Linux it is possible to create a list of installed software that you can later use to re-download the software should you have to reinstall your operating system. I have made this process even easier by writing three scripts for backing up and restoring installed software in Ubuntu, Sabayon, and Fedora.
Here are the download links:




To use the scripts, open Terminal and login as root or super user and then run the script.

On Fedora:
su
sh fedora_backup_and_restore.sh

On Ubuntu:
sudo bash ubuntu_backup_and_restore.sh

On Sabayon:
su
sh sabayon_backup_and_restore.sh
