I know. And with those links I posted for BackInTime FAQ you don't need to do all this by hand. PPA's and package selections are backed up. If you backed up /etc (and restored it before restoring the package selection) you don't need to configure them again. But it's totally up to you. I also take full snapshots with BackInTime from the whole system for one machine where I fiddled around a lot abroad from packages. But IMHO on 'normal' systems it's enough to backup package selections, config and data.
