How to backup repositories in OpenSuse

[blackpearl]

Where are all the downloaded repositories stored in Opensuse? How do I back them up so that I don't have to download them again later? And how do I reinstall all those applications from the backup?

A detailed working guide is desired.

You mean the downloaded rpms OR the xml data from the repositories?

If it is XML data that you don't want to load again and again then go to YaST and in repositories, disable 'auto refresh' option.

You could do that till 10.0, after that I've had hell on earth trying do it.

^^ Yeah.. Its not possible after 10.0 AFAIK.

No I'm talking about backing up the RPMs.
Anyway, I found one guide. I will try that.
