NVME Support

[iceyman]

G'day mate just wondering if you could add NVME support at all like add a section we can choose either nvme or sdcard ?

[mr-manuel]

But how would you restore the backup then?

Have you a Rasbperry Pi with NVMe?

You could change that line easily to match the NVMe path:

https://github.com/mr-manuel/raspberry-pi-backup/blob/3b3089299e3319f55cc16b6d9b900c5c219185ca/raspberry-pi-backup/backup.sh#L84

for example

 if [ "$(ps | grep -c 'dd if=/dev/nvme0n1')" -gt 1 ]; then

Restore it via imager or whatever to nvme as u can boot it

G'day mate yes i have changed a few lines from

 if [ "$(ps | grep -c 'dd if=/dev/mmcblk0')" -gt 1 ]; then
        echo "Backup already running. Exiting..."
        echo
        exit
    fi
    # create backup
    echo "Using script dd for backup."
    "${SCRIPT_DIR}/ext/dd" if=/dev/mmcblk0 of="${BACKUP_PATH}/${BACKUP_NAME}_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S).img" bs=1MB status=progress

# if not use the system dd
else
    # check if backup is already running
    if [ "$(ps -aux | grep -c 'dd if=/dev/mmcblk0')" -gt 1 ]; then
        echo "Backup already running. Exiting..."

To

 if [ "$(ps | grep -c 'dd if=/dev/nvme0n1')" -gt 1 ]; then
        echo "Backup already running. Exiting..."
        echo
        exit
    fi
    # create backup
    echo "Using script dd for backup."
    "${SCRIPT_DIR}/ext/dd" if=/dev/nvme0n1 of="${BACKUP_PATH}/${BACKUP_NAME}_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S).img" bs=1MB status=progress

# if not use the system dd
else
    # check if backup is already running
    if [ "$(ps -aux | grep -c 'dd if=/dev/nvme0n1')" -gt 1 ]; then
        echo "Backup already running. Exiting..."

And works Fine :D

But how would you restore the backup then? Same as before mate you can boot a NVME and also write to an NVME is you have usb to nvme

Have you a Rasbperry Pi with NVMe? Yes i have a pi4 and a pi5 setup and i have used your script to back them up after changes

Thanks mate :D
