Hello,<br>
<br>
I don't think we should have separate user groups but I do agree there<br>
should be maybe a meeting in the south lakes i.e Barrow area (pure self<br>
interest ;-) only ) and one in the North Lakes i.e. Carlisle or Penrith.<br>
<br>
Simon - Thanks for the offer for the lift to the ManLUG, I might take<br>
you up on this in the future. At the moment the miss is complaining that<br>
I spent to much time on the computer and I don't think she would be too<br>
happy me leaving her for a full day for a Linux meeting.<br>
<br>
Does anyone know a good way to backup your system, mainly packages<br>
installed and settings? i back up my files already to a SD card and<br>
additionally to dropbox. I just want to know a way of quickly recovering<br>
my system if I bugger it up again. Not Linux fault usually my fault<br>
changing some settings or something.<br>
<br>
Nice to get some activity on here.<br>
<br>

Hi Joachim, everyone.<br>
<br>
You could always use clonezilla to create an image of your computer, then<br>
just regularly update the image, thats what I do most of the time.<br>
<br>
Another idea, and its a quick way to backup a list of all the packages<br>
installed into an Ubuntu / Debian machine would be<br>
*<br>
dpkg --get-selections> FILENAME.txt*<br>
<br>
This command will run dpkg and using standard output, generate a list of all<br>
the packages installed on your computer.<br>
<br>
To restore, you need to run the command<br>
*<br>
dpkg --set-selection< FILENAME.txt&& apt-get update&& apt-get upgrade*<br>
<br>
This will then install all of your packages, upade the repo, and upgrade<br>
your box to the latest versions.<br>
<br>
All the best<br>
<br>

Hello Les,<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
Thank you for this help it is very much appreciated. I did create a list with the dpkg command and saved it in my documents, lets hope I will never need to use it. Do you know who maintains the dpkg packages - is that Debian?<br>
<br>
Can I ask why you have signed with Blackpool LUG - do you subscripe to both mailing lists?<br>
<br>
Joachim<br>
