Hi Guix,
I don´t use guix home
in the manual: 13.3.10 backup section is for guix home AFAIU.
I often fall into trouble because of Emacs and Gnus.
What does Guix offer to backup e.g. every 2 days my Emacs
configuration
so that in case of trouble with Emacs or Gnus
my Emacs configuration, including gnus is saved
and I can come back to it?
This should not include all my work, which I have done in
between,
only my configuration of Emacs
which is stored in .config/emacs
In case of trouble
I can come back to this configuration of 2 days ago or 4 days
ago
and restore my working emacs.
The simplest thing you can do is put your Emacs configuration into
Git. As long as you make commits when you change the
configuration, you can restore to any previous state; it also
helps to share the configuration between systems. There is no
special Guix facility for this, just use Git as normal.
There are also numerous dotfile manager tools which can help with
this. GNU Stow is one I know of which is already in Guix, but I’m
sure there are others.
