备份体系 Storage and Synchronization

  1. 为什么要备份
  2. 备份什么
  3. 如何快速取回
  4. 恢复的次序
  5. 自动化

为啥要备份，主要是为了防丢，其次是为了换电脑换系统的时候，不需要重新恢复系统，只需要重新安装一遍。借鉴基础设施即代码的理念，开发资产也是代码嘛。我希望的是，把系统所有使用到的软件、工具，都可以做成无状态的样子，只需要脚本就可以一键无痛安装到其他电脑上。为了达到这个目标，我列出了上面几个点，即我们需要用代码表达我们要备份的东西，确保它有快速、稳定、可靠的方式被快速取回，为此必须保持一定的恢复次序，比如 VPN、命令行、brew、系统假设 这些，可能是所需要的前置物品。

备份什么

需要这些信息：

  • 它们各自的版本（重要工具才需要）
  • 它们各自的依赖版本（重要工具才需要）
  • 配置文件

一些工具性的文件需要再装好了。所以整理了一下，需要的只有下面这些：
