Description

Tracks explicitly installed packages and configuration files so an Arch system is easier to document, back up, or rebuild. It is useful for users who want a clearer record of what they intentionally installed.

Backup helpers reduce manual work but still need review. Store backups somewhere safe and inspect generated package lists before using them to recreate another system.
