[ubuntu-za] aptik-backup

[Charl Wentzel]

Hi Guys

Just stumbled across a useful app: aptik-backup

Whenever I upgrade my version of Ubuntu, I loose all my additional 
applications I installed.  I can never remember everything and often 
struggle to find the PPAs for some of the applications.  This app solves 
this problem by backing the list of installed application; those from 
the repositories and those from PPAs.  It then attempts to restore all 
your PPAs and applications automatically.

I've used yPPA manager before, but its focused on PPAs only.  Aptik is 
more specific to my needs.  Here's a link to a detailed article on it, 
including how to install it:

With this app, I'm looking forward to upgrading to 14.04!!
