Hi,
a simple question
If I copy my /home somewhere to save it
later I install Guix again as my system,
copy my saved /home back to guix...
what about all the packages I installed earlier?
/home does not include the installed packages
because they are in /gnu/store
Does that mean I have to reinstall all the packages again?
About 200 packages through "guix install ..."
How could I save my installed packages that I can easily get them after
reinstalling Guix?
thanks

Hi! You can run "guix package --export-manifest > manifest.scm", which
will export manifest, containing all of your packages, into a file, and
then, on your freshly installed system, you just run "guix package -m
manifest.scm", which would reproduce your profile. Take into account
that when you run the second command, all the packages, that are not
specified in the manifest will get deleted.
