I think you can just back up the /sw/fink tree. This will include
* your full catalog in /sw/fink/dists
* your installed packages in
/sw/fink/dists/{unstable,stable,local}/main/binary-darwin-powerpc
* the symlinks to your packages in /sw/fink/debs
That should be complete enough for backup purposes. To be more complete,
you can also get config stuff from /sw/etc, and data from /sw/var, but to
just restore the software /sw/fink should be enough.
