Jess,
also do something like
tlmgr list --only-installed|awk '{print $2}'|sed s/://g > tl.2018-11-10
if yuo were to inadvertently remove your "current" TL version, after
reinstallation of TL you can run
tlmgr install $(cat tl.2018-11-10)
which will not re-install existing packages, but any you have previously
installed additionally with tlmgr or the Tex Live Manager tool will be.
I use MacTeX Basic and ths method and thus save a few GB :-)-O
