Backing up my Cygwin installation

[Charles Plager]

Hello,
	I unintentionally updated perl to 5.8.2 from 5.8.1.  After having done 
this, Tk didn't work anymore.  I tried using the cygwin setup tool to 
revert perl versions, but after trying all of the 5.8.x versions, 
nothing helped.  After much messing around, I seemed to have messed up 
my installation well enough that I couldn't get any version of perl to 
install correctly (It kept telling me that it was missing a perl dll and 
that re-installing would help).  After all of this, I said "**** it" and 
started a new cygwin installation.

	My question now is how do I backup up my cygwin installation.  If I 
make a copy of all of c:\cygwin, is it good enough to just delete the 
current c:\cygwin directory and restore the backup?

	Thanks,
	  Charles
