Snapshot the developer environment (VSCode, Terminal, Git, SSH) before a machine rebuild.
Scope note (2026-06-14): the broader backup tier (
Backup-UserData,Backup-BrowserProfiles,Export-SystemState,Test-BackupIntegrity,Restore-DeveloperEnvironment) was removed in the ghost-code cull. User data is covered by OneDrive sync; browser bookmarks/extensions sync natively; lab-server backups live on q-backup via Velero. See BACKLOG.md for rationale.

# Snapshot before a rebuild
.\Backup-DeveloperEnvironment.ps1 -BackupPath "D:\DevBackups"The script writes a manifest alongside the archive so the contents are self-describing.
