I think you're mixing two things here:

1. Backing up data
2. Saving extensions so that they are available the next time you boot.

If you want to save any extensions you downloaded, you need to create a folder named /tce on permanent storage.

In microcore, you can use "ab" from the cli to work with a text mode version of app browser to download and save extensions to your /tce folder

Thanks 4 your hint .

when i booted microcore i tce-load -w,i mc.tcz for installing midnight commander ( MC ) .

NOW , how can i save my state for next reset that don't need to install MC next time ??

Assuming mc.tcz is now saved in your tce/optional folder on permanent storage, you can add mc.tcz to /tce/onboot.lst and it will be loaded on re-boot.

If you want to save mc settings, you will probably need to add the conf file to /opt/filetool.lst and it will be saved in your backup. If the mc settings are saved under /home/tc, there is no need to add it to filetool.lst, but if the mc settings are saved under /usr/local/etc, you will need to add the full path (without the leading "/") to filetool.lst.

Once a backup file (mydata.tcz) is stored once, tc/mc will load it and save it automatically - to start things off, I guess you could use "filetool.sh -b" in microcore.
