Re: NWDR15 image release changed to RPi Config backup
J P,

I'm not very motivated to write a configuration back-up program. The following is my thinking, flawed as it may be. 1. I can regen any of my RPi units from a blank mSD card in 30 minutes or less. 2. I keep a copy of my alsa settings for the 1/2 dozen radios that I own in my personal wiki. 3. Most of the packet programs have single easy to find configuration files, so that's easy. Most of the HF programs have directories of configuration & state in locations I am challenged to locate, so that's harder. If I was going to have a configuration back-up utility I would use rsnapshot: repo: https://github.com/rsnapshot/rsnapshot man page: https://linux.die.net/man/1/rsnapshot which uses rsync. rsync allows you to back-up or copy files locally or on a remote (Unix) computer. rsnapshot is similar to Apple's time machine without the gui. rsnapshot is what I use to back-up my Linux workstations with crontab entries like the following for daily, weekly, monthly back-up file rotation. # m h dom mon dow command 30 2 * * * /usr/bin/rsnapshot daily 30 1 * * 6 /usr/bin/rsnapshot weekly 5 0 1 * * /usr/bin/rsnapshot monthly If you send me a list of things you are running on your RPi, I will send you a first cut of what I think the rsnap configuration file (/etc/rsnapshot.conf) for your RPi would look like. Identify where you want your back-up files to live ie. on another RPi devoted to backing stuff up? All of the above assumes you are running some Linux/Unix machine as well as your RPi. I do not know or care what the Windows solution is, I don't use Windows much. Windows is really not that much fun for me to use. /Basil J P Watters via Groups.Io <kc9kko=mac.com@groups.io> writes:
