I am going to develop a program for linux. It is a package backup & restore program. It is going to backup packages and when needed it will restore. If you have suggestions, i would like to hear them. Which features should i include.

For Arch? Pacman already keeps a package cache, so the old packages are already there. We have a bunch of scripts that help with downgrading and there's ARM http://arm.konnichi.com/search/
A new cache-cleaning script is in the works http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/ … 13926.html

Features:
1. Snapshots: I want to bring back my March 11, 2011 system state. Not only applications but also the configs of course. But I've added another NIC and a hard drive in the meantime and I want to be notified that I have to make some adjustments for them to work.
2. I want to install wine 0.9.1 and all its dependencies.

I have actually created my own hacked system for backups.
The main thing I like about mine is decentralization.
I have many servers which use the same files (certain config files), my backup keeps them synced. (also means if I lose it on one machine, it's on x amount of other ones).
Machine dependent files are then distributed among all machines. This means I could have a large amount of machines fail at once and still have a valid copy of all vital files on each of those machines.
