I've developed the habit of taking copies of the C:\cygwin\setup folder from time to time (usually before an update) and putting them into a date/time stamped folder (e.g. "holgerdanske-cygwin-20090412"). I also download both binaries and source code for all packages. This gives me a couple of options: 1. I can install matching copies of Cygwin on multiple machines. 2. If Cygwin breaks, I can move the entire C:\cygwin folder aside (e.g. backup), create a new C:\cygwin, copy in one of my saved \setup trees, reinstall from the local packages, and then move over my data and configuration files (e.g. restore). 3. I can burn disks and/or install Cygwin on other people's machines and be in compliance with the GPL.
