Auto-generate an application list for backup purposes
Authored by: TvE on Nov 30, '06 11:56:09AM

My system is plain and simple - but rock solid:

I (manually - WOOOW!) write a logfile on all my computers and note (name+time+sn) everytime I install/update/remove any application large as small, free as expensive.

This has the added side-effect that I can always track what application/extension etc. might be causing what ever problem just arose.

If I frequent observe <problem X> (EG by looking in the system.log) I can easaly match the dates with my installations and possibly undo the installation ;-)

Wow, in your case, I'm sure you back up regularly and have never lost/will never lose any data. Hats off to you. :-)
