Learn How to Back Up and Import WSL Uubuntu-24.04: Build a Clean Template Habit

Introduction: Efficiency is the New Standard

In modern development, starting from scratch every time is inefficient.
Real pros build a clean template once — then clone, export, and import as needed.

Today, let's learn how to maximize your facility (QOL) using WSL2 + Ubuntu 24.04 — backed by real-world methods professionals use.

Why Build from a Clean Template?

• 🚀 Instant Recovery: If something breaks, just re-import the clean environment.
• 🚀 Custom Workspaces: Create multiple tailored environments (dev, test, production).
• 🚀 True Efficiency: Stop wasting time setting up repetitive environments.

You build once — and reuse forever.

Step 1: Install Windows Terminal (if you haven't)

1. Open Microsoft Store.
2. Search for "Windows Terminal" and install it.
3. Launch it and select "PowerShell" from the terminal menu.

Step 2: Check Your WSL Environment

Open PowerShell and run:

wsl --list --verbose

Example output:

NAME            STATE           VERSION
* Ubuntu-24.04  Running          2

Make sure Ubuntu 24.04 is listed.

Step 3: Export Your Clean Ubuntu Template

In PowerShell:

wsl --export Ubuntu-24.04 ubuntu-backup-29-apr-2025.tar

✅ This command saves your clean Ubuntu environment as a .tar backup file.

Step 4: Create a New Working Environment from Template

Now let's import a copy:

wsl --import Ubuntu-24.04-develop1 "$env:HOMEDRIVE$env:HOMEPATH\Ubuntu-24.04-develop1" "ubuntu-backup-29-apr-2025.tar"

✅ A new instance named Ubuntu-24.04-develop1 will be created.

Step 5: Set the New Instance as Default (Optional)

To make your develop environment the default WSL instance:

wsl --set-default Ubuntu-24.04-develop1

✅ Now when you run wsl, it will open your development environment.

Step 6: Start Working!

Finally, launch your new Ubuntu:

wsl -d Ubuntu-24.04-develop1

🎉 Welcome to your clean, isolated, high-facility Linux environment!

Key Advantages of This Method

• You don't lose hours reinstalling Ubuntu.
• If you break something, just re-import the clean .tar backup.
• GPU acceleration is more efficient under WSL2 than under VirtualBox (especially with CUDA or Stable Diffusion).
• Perfect for development: Python, Stable Diffusion, Node.js, anything.

Conclusion: Build Once, Reuse Forever

Real developers don't rebuild environments manually every time.
They prepare reusable templates, export and import smartly, and keep productivity high.

Don't waste your creativity on setting up.
Use it to build.
