Backup to USB? #7

Closed lfhoward closed 7 months ago

lfhoward commented 8 months ago

Dear Mr-Manuel,

I have used rpi-clone to clone my raspberry pi SD cards in the past, so that I can just pop in the cloned SD card if the original got corrupted. There is no need for an external computer in this scenario.

Rpi-clone will not work with Venus OS however, so I am very interested in your backup script. I see that your script is designed to create a backup on a remote computer. Can it be used instead to clone the SD card to another SD card located locally on USB? I think the path to the USB drive on Venus would be /run/media/sda1, but I am not sure this would work if your script is expecting a remote connection. Please advise.

Thank you in advance for the clarification.

P.S. I also use your dbus_serialbattery script on my system and it is awesome.

Just change the mount path to your USB mount.

Just change the mount path to your USB mount.

Yes. You also have to disable the mounting process else the script tries to mount that path.
