        Getting ready for a new machine

        I have a new laptop arriving at the end of this week. If I'm lucky it
        will arrive before Friday, so I can manage to pick it up and have it
        during the weekend. If not, I'm only going to set it up next week.
       
        I don't know whether to just restore the backup from my current
        machine or take the opportunity to set it up from scratch. Or take
        a mixed approach - set the applications from scratch but retrieve the
        data from a backup.
       
        I feel I could automate this whole process, but how often do I go
        through this process? Probably maintaining the automation up-to-date
        would require more manual effort than manually running it once every
        now and then.
       
        What is your prefered method to setup new machines?
