I found it very helpful. I have one of those USB passports hard drives. I've been storing the SSTV pictures. I've received from our local SSTV event we have here in the Vancouver BC area. My main PI I wanted to use as a back device and this is what I have been looking for.

System boots fine after removing the thumbdrive. I am noting that my Gridsquare and CGPS is intermittent. Almost beginning to wonder if my uBlox 7 is defective.

That is great Jason!! This is something that I need to do for sure. I have a 64 gig thumb drive that I think I will use for the backup drive. I have a question, I just bought and should be here Friday, a AnyTone 868 DMR HT. A friend highly recommended it and he was telling me that I need to get a MMDVM Hotspot Pi-star Support P-25 DMR YSF & Antenna Fit For Raspberry Pi and with that and the AnyTone 868 I would able to work DMR/D-Star/Fusion. I am not familiar with DMR systems and the Hotspot. Have you done any videos about this?? Great video and I will be doing the backup thing when I get home. Juddie WD8WV

Negative. I have not ventured into DMR yet. It's cool but just not something I am super excited about. At least not at the moment. Maybe a future project thought. Who knows!?

Jason, I followed this video to a "T". Upon re-booting my pi 4 64bit I noted that it is attempting to boot from my USB thumbdrive that I saved the backup to. I do have some other files on it. Is it common for this to happen with just the backup file loaded? Thanks

@4:33 if you were going to backup the entire drive, could you do something like "backup / localhost/ exclude=/media/pi " in the config file?
@KM4ACK 4 жыл бұрын
Not certain about the exclude statement but backing up the entire drive should be possible. Since I do weekly images of my SD card anyway, this just catches the day to day things while I am working on code for various projects. I am known to run it manually as well when I reach a milestone with a project.
@Speccy48k 4 жыл бұрын
A Linux install usually has several partitions for e.g. efi boot (FAT32), swap or even home (EXT4, XFS, BTRFS). Can rsnapshot (or rsync) take a full image of a partition or a disk in case of baremetal recovery?
@KM4ACK 4 жыл бұрын
Not that I am aware of but someone else might know how. I use this method for full image backups kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ns9zo6WelbGlpnU.html I run this manually once a week and then rely on rsnapshot to take care of data in between full image backups.
@thecarys563 4 жыл бұрын
Thanks for this. My issue was that something went wrong with the sound or wsjt-x. No output to the sound card from the Pi; no settings had changed. Plugging the same sound card and cables into my Mac WSJTx worked fine, full power, full sound. I tried to troubleshoot, but would up just reinstalling fresh image and re-do build-a-pi. Would this backup have helped me? Also, how do you restore?
@KM4ACK 4 жыл бұрын
No. This backup probably wouldn;t have helped. This only backs up the home folder. You should be doing a full image backup. I recommend weekly but even monthly is better than nothing. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ns9zo6WelbGlpnU.html

Old video, but helpful. Why can’t we just set it to back up everything? Is there any specific downside? Then wouldn’t we be able to skip the full image backup that we do manually?
@KM4ACK 6 ай бұрын
Backing up everything is certainly an option.

@christyr-m35 4 жыл бұрын
I have a NAS set up on my home network. I'd be interested in understanding if/how I can schedule this backup to happen such that it backs up to the NAS (which has multiple layers of backup redundancy). I'm pretty new to this, so I'm figuring it out as I go along. Any thoughts on that?
@KM4ACK 4 жыл бұрын
That is probably possible. Initial thought is that you will need to install SAMBA and then plug in the network address in place of the thumb drive name. Not something I have done, just an educated guess.

would it not make sense to just use a USB 3.0 disk drive with your operating system / rom files, that way you wouldn't have to mess about backing it up

There are MANY examples of how to do it on the internet. Search RPi GPIO Power down Almost all have an example Python script that monitors a GPIO pin and does the shutdown Another option is the PiMoroni on/off shim (under $10 US)

Some kind of absurdity ... What prevents you from simply running the copy folder command from the script, also automatically once a day? In addition, the execution rights and information about the owner of the file will be lost if the file system on the external drive does not support this ...

While there is almost always several ways to accomplish the same thing in Linux, this paper describes in detail the differences in the two methods. One is much more efficient that the other. www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/
