Comment 4 for bug 1552768

In 14.04 I didn't found a Option for Backup/Restore of Packages, but maybe it was possible over UbuntuOne (which is closed)?

If I think as an "happy-to-start-my-Ubuntu-User" I would search such a possibility in the default Backup-Tool deja-dup. But, from side of deja-dup you are right. Unfortunately this will not help the user. The finest would be a solution for save the packages, the second finest is maybe a small hint/information to the user before creating the first Backup.

Correct. What's with unfree Software which stores Information in opt? Non-standard?
