Hola wonder.

This pgm is wonderful [teehee]... Aptik.

• http://www.teejeetech.in/p/aptik.html 
  
• https://www.howtogeek.com/206454/how-to-backup-and-restore-your-apps-and-ppas-in-ubuntu-using-aptik/ 
  

Just one caution: When you create the destination folder to hold your Aptik backup, it must NOT contain ANY punctuation. Aptik interprets punctuation as a path-termination, hence it won't actually find your intended target folder for most of its sub-processes. Some work, but most fail, rendering use of Aptik prior to major system events like an OS change a frustrating failure... but if you know of this caution, then Aptik really is fab.

Oh, there is another caution: Here's a copy & paste of my own working notes from earlier this year... i learned the hard painful way:

Quote:Every time i need to RESTORE, be very very VERY careful. It's safe to blaze on ahead with the Downloaded Packages [ie, DEBs], & Launchpad PPAs, & it's *mostly* also ok for the Software Packages [but read the entire list very carefully... IF the Restoration is not to the SAME pc with the SAME hardware & the SAME version of the OS AND Desktop Environment, that is].

If those square-bracketed parameters above have not changed at all, then also all the other Aptik modules should be safe too. But, but, BUT... if important changes have occurred, DO NOT Restore any of those other modules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As i write, i am sleep-deprived & still occupied with the intense Tower recovery process... for the SECOND time in 36 hours. ~A week ago i had a major "hardware incident" which somehow lunched the Tower so that it froze & then refused to boot back to the login screen. After intense days & night of seeking workarounds i gave up & realised i had to reinstall Maui. That process commenced yesterday early arvo & went ok, but when i subsequently used Aptik for the Restores, i totally stuffed up & consequently stuffed my beautiful fresh new Maui so badly that it again would not boot [but not same cause as before].

My gross error was that i Restored "20170224 Towers Maui 2.1 Plasma5", which was Plasma 5.8.4, onto my newly reinstalled Tower's Maui 17.03 Plasma 5.9.3. It was a catastrophe; large swathes of older incompatible system config files replaced the necessary current versions of the new OS, & screwed Maui so comprehensively that it stopped working properly then & there, but then upon subsequent reboot attempts basically couldn't... it would not boot up. I had to start from scratch with another full reinstallation.

Learn from my errors, & then Aptik will be great for you. I now love this pgm, now that i understand how to [& not to] use it.
