Deployment Method: Individual Install, Upgrade, & Uninstall
To install (unofficial) Choco Package List Backup to Local and Cloud (Script + Task), run the following command from the command line or from PowerShell:
To upgrade (unofficial) Choco Package List Backup to Local and Cloud (Script + Task), run the following command from the command line or from PowerShell:
To uninstall (unofficial) Choco Package List Backup to Local and Cloud (Script + Task), run the following command from the command line or from PowerShell:
Deployment Method:
This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.
1. Enter Your Internal Repository Url
(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)
2. Setup Your Environment
1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment
Please see the organizational deployment guide
2. Get the package into your environment
Option 1: Cached Package (Unreliable, Requires Internet - Same As Community)-
Open Source or Commercial:
- Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
- You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download
-
Open Source
-
Download the package:
Download - Follow manual internalization instructions
-
-
Package Internalizer (C4B)
-
Run: (additional options)
choco download choco-package-list-backup --internalize --version=2019.07.02 --source=https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/
-
For package and dependencies run:
choco push --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'"
- Automate package internalization
-
Run: (additional options)
3. Copy Your Script
choco upgrade choco-package-list-backup -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'2019.07.02'" [other options]
See options you can pass to upgrade.
See best practices for scripting.
Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.
If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:
choco upgrade choco-package-list-backup -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'2019.07.02'"
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE
Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
Exit 0
}
Exit $exitCode

choco-package-list-backup solves your Chocolatey migration and package re-installation problems!
choco-package-list-backup (CPLB) is a script I wrote that will backup the list of your currently installed Chocolatey packages and save them to a PACKAGES.CONFIG file. You can then use that PACKAGES.CONFIG file to re-install all your packages on another computer or even the same computer later if it crashes. "How can I re-install on the same computer if it crashed and I lost the PACKAGES.CONFIG file?" Thanks for asking! CPLB backs up your package list locally AND to multiple cloud services! But wait, there's more! CPBL also saves your pinned package info. But wait, there's even more! CPBL also saves a list of ALL your programs even if they weren't installed by Chocolatey. Pretty darn cool huh?
FEATURES:
- CPLB supports saving PACKAGES.CONFIG to all of the following:
- your local Documents folder
- your Active Directory assigned HOMESHARE
- Box
- Dropbox Personal and Business
- Google Drive and Drive File Stream
- iCloudDrive
- Microsoft OneDrive (free, paid consumer, and corporate)
- NETGEAR ReadyCLOUD
- Nextcloud
- ownCloud
- Resilio Sync
- Seafile
- TonidoSync
- A custom location of your choice
- C:\Users\Public when run from system account
- CPLB runs on install to make sure you have backup(s) right now!
- CPLB backups every Monday at 6 AM in the background to C:\Users\Public. Set it and forget it!
- CPLB supports copying InstChoco - The ULTIMATE Chocolatey and Chocolatey packages (re)installer! to your PACKAGES.CONFIG backup location(s) for the fastest way ever to reinstall Chocolatey and your Chocolatey packages! (Or migrate!)
- CPLB supports backing up PERSISTENTPACKAGES.CONFIG if you are using Choco Persistent Packages.
- CPLB integrates with Chocolatey Shortcuts.
- CPLB saves in computer (name) specific folders so you can backup your Chocolatey package list from multiple computers to the same cloud destination(s). No confusion over what computer gets what packages!
- CPLB saves a list of all your installed programs (AllProgramsList.txt) whether they were installed by Chocolatey or not.
- CPLB saves your pinned information to pins.bat for easy re-pinning packages.
- CPLB is in your path and ready to run.
- CPLB is configurable. You can:
- configure which locations you want or don't want to save to (default=all the locations found except the custom location)
- configure to save package version information or not (default=false)
- configure to append a date to the saved packages.config, AllProgramsList.txt, and pins.bat files(default=false)
- configure what folder to save to (default=ChocolateyPackageListBackup)
- easily add a custom location by editing CustomPath and UseCustomPath in the .xml configuration file
- configure to save a list of all your installed Windows programs whether installed by Chocolatey or not to AllProgramsList.txt (default=true)

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).
Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.

INSTRUCTIONS:
- Edit C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin\choco-package-list-backup.xml to customize your backup(s). It's easy, there are comments.
- From PowerShell, type CHOCO-PACKAGE-LIST-BACKUP.PS1 to backup your Chocolatey packages list.
- From Command Prompt, type POWERSHELL CHOCO-PACKAGE-LIST-BACKUP.PS1 to backup your Chocolatey packages list.
- From Windows, click Chocolatey Package List Backup in the Windows Start Menu or Package List Backup inside the Chocolatey folder if Chocolatey Shortcuts is installed.
CHANGELOG:
- 2019.07.02 - now saves OneDrive backups to free, paid, and corporate folders
- 2019.06.27 - now backups the config file, can now also make archival versions of pins.bat, edited config comments to not add quotes to custom path.
