In the main window navigation sidebar: Cache -> Downloaded packages Packages -> Installed software
Downloaded packages are copied to cache/files/debian in backup path.
Take a look at the user manual
OK Thanks But do I have to move my previous debs (aptik v.17.10 > debs directory ) ? Couldn't find them anywhere
I couldn't find any of my previously installed software that used to be in the "archives" directory... None of them are listed in Packages -> Installed software Am I missing something ?
Are you trying to restore a backup created with previous version? That will not work. Use the older version of the tool to restore backups created with older versions.
The "archives" directory in previous version contains download packages. This folder is renamed to cache/files/debian in the new version. These deb files are present in system cache /var/cache/apt/archives. These are cached packages - these may or may not be actually installed on the system.
The packages that are actually installed are listed in packages/files/selected.list.
No, I'm not trying to restore a backup, just trying to figure it out.
You say that the "archives" directory in previous version contains download packages. But lots of my packages contained in this previous "archives" directory are actually missing in /var/cache/apt/archives (more than 2000... some being duplicates though).
You also say that the packages that are actually installed are listed in packages/files/selected.list. But in my case this selected.list file is empty.
And what about debs ? I used to drop debs on the application as asked by aptik when a missing deb was detected while doing an "Installed software" backup. Where are they now and how could these debs be restored ?
Sorry If I'm missing something and thanks for your help anyway
How do I find the old version Unfortunately I added the program before the switch. Last weekend
You can place debs in the debs/files folder to install them on restore
Previous version: https://github.com/teejee2008/aptik-legacy
Download are available on the Releases page
The only way to backup debs with Aptik 18.5 is to move the debs to the debs/files folder ? No drag and drop option as in previous version ?
Fixed in v18.5.1. You can drag drop deb files on main window.
And also where is the "archives" directory (Installed Software) ?
