7 You could also use quickpkg, i.e. write a script that interates through
8 world and runs quickpkg on each atom. Quickpkg will drop a binary package
9 in PKGDIR (which is set in /etc/make.conf). If you make a backup of PKGDIR
10 and your world file, you have a crude packages backup which can be used
11 to rebuild the box if need be.
