|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`apt-clone clone --destination {{path/to/backup.tar.gz}}`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Restore the package state from a clone file:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`apt-clone restore {{path/to/backup.tar.gz}}`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Show information about a clone file (e.g., the release, architecture):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`apt-clone info {{path/to/backup.tar.gz}}`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Check if the clone file can be restored on the current system:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`apt-clone restore {{path/to/backup.tar.gz}} --destination {{path/to/restore}}`
|
