- Aconfmgr: A configuration manager for Arch LinuxScore

Arch noob
Establishing a backup strategy. I'm using BTRFS with snapper and a pacman hook that creates a new snapshot before each upgrade. With ext4 I used timeshift. Besides that, I save my arch configuration with aconfmgr and my files with borg

New machine, same system: Top to bottom vs bottom to top
Since my last cloning I've setup aconfmgr and and systemd-homed. I've also been playing around with archinstall configs to partition the system with encryption how I like. In the future I'm planning to use archinstall and aconfmgr to setup a new system for me and then I'll copy over the backup of my home directory.

Rebuild a system
Have you tried aconfmgr? In addition to installing packages, it also tracks configurations in /etc and modified files.

New arch install and partitioning, what's the best way to make backups that doesn't take up a ton of disk space?
For my backup I keep files in my home directory synced with my NAS via syncthing. For my system backup I don't actually backup up my system, I configure my system via aconfmgr and that config is stored in my home directory and synced to my NAS. Using aconfmgr to "backup" my system is extremely space effecient, my aconfmgr config is only 1.7 MB.
-
is there a good way to synchronize the system between different machines?
aconfmgr (in AUR) can be used to save and restore system configurations and installed packages. For user configuration you can use a dotfile manager like chezmoi (in repo).
-
Backup of system and package settings
I know you prefer backing up manually, but aconfmgr might be for you.

What do most people forget to do on a new install that's important?
To get something closer to nix on arch I like to use aconfmgr.
