Backup and Restore Installed Software in Sabayon Linux

Here is a simple script that will backup your manually installed software in Sabayon Linux and will restore it at a later date if you need it.

backup_and_restore.sh.tar.gz



Untar the package in your home folder and issue the following command in Terminal:

chmod +x backup_and_restore.sh

Next login as root or super user and issue the following command:

./backup_and_restore.sh

I haven’t left Fedora and RHL fans out in the cold. There’s two scripts that do this exact same function in a RHL based distribution, as well as back up your repositories:

backup_and_restore.tar.gz

Follow the same instructions for each of these scripts as you do the Sabayon script.
