# Rollbacks {#sec-usage-rollbacks}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
While the `home-manager` tool does not explicitly support rollbacks at
|
||
|
|
the moment it is relatively easy to perform one manually. The steps to
|
||
|
|
do so are
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Run `home-manager generations` to determine which generation you
|
||
|
|
wish to rollback to:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
``` shell
|
||
|
|
$ home-manager generations
|
||
|
|
2018-01-04 11:56 : id 765 -> /nix/store/kahm1rxk77mnvd2l8pfvd4jkkffk5ijk-home-manager-generation
|
||
|
|
2018-01-03 10:29 : id 764 -> /nix/store/2wsmsliqr5yynqkdyjzb1y57pr5q2lsj-home-manager-generation
|
||
|
|
2018-01-01 12:21 : id 763 -> /nix/store/mv960kl9chn2lal5q8lnqdp1ygxngcd1-home-manager-generation
|
||
|
|
2017-12-29 21:03 : id 762 -> /nix/store/6c0k1r03fxckql4vgqcn9ccb616ynb94-home-manager-generation
|
||
|
|
2017-12-25 18:51 : id 761 -> /nix/store/czc5y6vi1rvnkfv83cs3rn84jarcgsgh-home-manager-generation
|
||
|
|
…
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Copy the Nix store path of the generation you chose, e.g.,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/nix/store/mv960kl9chn2lal5q8lnqdp1ygxngcd1-home-manager-generation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
for generation 763.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Run the `activate` script inside the copied store path:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
``` shell
|
||
|
|
$ /nix/store/mv960kl9chn2lal5q8lnqdp1ygxngcd1-home-manager-generation/activate
|
||
|
|
Starting home manager activation
|
||
|
|
…
|
||
|
|
```
