Well I am trying to script everything. But actually I am just copying from my backup. Most of the stuff I need is in my home folder and I have a list of tools I need.
But making a script is definitely on my todo list. It's just hard to do it if you change to a Distro with a different packagemanager like I did last week when I tried Solus.

Yeah exactly my concern also. I have a script which works on debian / ubuntu based distros and one single for arch. But with arch it already starts: is pacman used or yaourt? Are there other dependencies I need to check for? and all these questions.
But good to hear others have the same situation :)
Right now my backup is just rsync'ing the folders and files I need. Do you use the same approach?
I am using BorgBackup. It's pretty greate because of the many duplicate Files I have when I am switching every couple of weeks. But I am thinking about switching to Restic. I have read that it has some improvements compared to borg but I haven't checked it yet.

Thanks for linking, I'll check those two out later, maybe I switch to one of them also :)
