What are the files I could Backup them from my Fedora 27 to a different machine of Fedora 27. Then I could restore them by using Gnome back tool (Déjà Dup Backup Tool).
/etc /home /root
What else?
Also, how could I backup my package as txt then restore that by terminal?
Thank you in advance
This one works for me:
for i in `cat textfile.txt` ; do dnf -y install $i; done
textfile.txt= your txt file of the list the packages!
Great command~
Use dnf repoquery --qf "%{name}" --userinstalled > textfile.txt to export the list of packages. This way you will only export the name of the packages, whithout version, release or arch number. Version and release may change between backup and restore date and then dnf install ... can't find the package in the repos.
Answering your question regarding backup of installed packages from terminal
Backup:
dnf repoquery --qf "%{name}" --userinstalled > userinstalled.txt
Restore:
sudo dnf install $(cat userinstalled.txt)
if you want to automate the backup process, it could be helpful to output the list like this:
sudo dnf repoquery --qf "%{name}" --userinstalled > ~/"userinstalled-"$HOSTNAME-`date +"%Y-%m-%d".txt`

florian = sorry, but no one had the right answer, I just can restore my /home dic, I got issues when try with /etc. Now, how could I backup my package as txt with more 400+ then restore that by terminal?
Cyber Linux didn't you ask for a command line tool? I don't actually understand what are you asking for and what issues are you encountering.
