Going back slightly you can specify a script/program that will be run by
dpkg at key points when packages are installed and removed. I never went
beyond logging the parameters to a log but I remember at one point you get
the location of the .deb file being installed. You could grab information
from

LVM lets you create a snapshot where the mounted filesystem looks normal
but under the cover it's using a journal and the original logical volume,
e.g., /dev/mapper/vg0/home, is untouched. You can then perform your backup

The simple way to create a restore point system ...
... is to mount / as an overlay FS, which you periodically merge (to
remove prior restore points), condense into a squashfs (to take a
point backup), or wipe (to restore to backup). This of course means
/home should be its own partition.

You need to either have a local repository or download from the internet
again. I've used 'apt-mirror' in the past to maintain a local cache but
that was when I was building local systems with a minimal Debian installer.
I don't even know if the standard Ubuntu installer can load off a local
cache.

Hello Michael Vogt,
Yes I have had a look at your blog post related to apt-clone, I am looking
at how to use that in this project.
Thanks for helping.

Heh, for some reason I thought this was on the local linux users group
instead of ubuntu-devel. Hence the more generic language.
Anyway feel free to take the other two points as possible products. My
prototypes have been shell commands followed by simple java apps that did

I've written a few prototypes and this comes down to four issues. Some of
the details below are debian/ubuntu-specific but the same concepts will
apply to redhat.
1. User data (/home) must be backed up explicitly. (ditto server data on
servers).
2. Packages should NOT be backed up. All you need i

I want to write a windows system restore like program for ubuntu , which
will have options for creating restore points for the system and then
restoring it back to that point. Also I will as an extension provide support
for older version of a file as is in windows currently. I need your
