Mackup modes of action:
 - backup: sync your conf files to your synced storage, use this the 1st time you use Mackup.
 - restore: link the conf files already in your synced storage on your system, use it on any new system you use.
 - uninstall: reset everything as it was before using Mackup.
 - list: display a list of all supported applications.

我们运行 mackup backup 以后,如果你安装了 dropbox 的话,则会有如下提示：

Mackup needs a directory to store your configuration files
Do you want to create it now ? </Users/SimMan/Dropbox/Mackup> <Yes|No>

输入Yes后,mackup就开始进行备份了,并且会把备份的配置文件放到 dropbox 下进行同步,只有在其他电脑、或者重做系统以后,只要使用 dropbox 把配置文件同步回来, 在调用 mackup resotre 命令,就可以进行恢复了！
