scoop-backup
Additional functionality for the Scoop Package Manager.
Backup your entire current scoop installation with one command:
scoop-backup
This produces the compressed backup scoop-backup\backups\backup-YYMMDD.ps1
, which can now be executed on any Windows computer to restore your entire Scoop installation, including all buckets and apps.
scoop-backup can be installed via, you guessed it, scoop, via the knox-scoop bucket:
scoop bucket add knox-scoop https://git.irs.sh/KNOXDEV/knox-scoop
scoop install scoop-backup
use cases
- Backing up a computer's software for easy reinstallation
- Deploying an identical scoop-based installation to many computers
- Syncing configurations between two personal computers for an effortless, uniform experience
options
Save to a different folder:
scoop-backup .\path\to\folder\
Save backup as a compressed batch file:
scoop-backup --compress
# >> "output-folder\backup.bat"
future plans
- Implement a strategy for backing up the persistence directory. For many apps, this is trivial (ccleaner), but others pose a significant challenge (jetbrains-toolbox).
