    monkey's uncle. Why on earth did Saurik have to acquire Rock?! The server back up of installed packages was so easy! And now recovering my installed packages is such a friggin' pain!</rant>

    AptBackup has never worked for me. I tried using the following (all commands run from root):
    Code:
    dpkg --get-selections > /cydia.txt
    Then, after restore:
    Code:
    dpkg --set-selections < /cydia.txt
    apt-get dselect-upgrade
    apt-get update
    apt-get upgrade
    However, I was left with a ton of apps with no icons, and a mess of other problems. Is there anything other than AptBackup and manually doing it that's free and works?
