backup script for RPI OS and App configurations?


 

I understand that there is a backup-restore program in the sBitx toolbox for the sBitx program settings, but I was wondering if anyone has put together a script to backup RPI OS preferences and settings and logs for the other apps like Gridtracker, WSJTX, Fldigi?? I've made a start on this using Deja Dup but the program is not filling me with confidence;)? ?73 Chris M0KNF


 

Chris,
the problem can be solved very easily, I do the same when there are several changes on the OS. Whether you have the operating system on a uSD card or a USB stick, use Accessories > SD Card Copier in the RPi menu. With this, you can easily copy the contents of your operating system and you only have to monitor the variables and store them on a separate USB stick. Just make sure that it is preferably of a different brand to which you are copying, so you don't accidentally mix up what you are copying from. In the beginning, I copied uSD cards, now I use different USB 3.2 sticks to store the OS and for backup purposes. If you use uSD, write on the card e.g. 1 or 2 or 3... or A or B or C similar, to differentiate and note to yourself which one has the state of when. If you use a USB stick, you can also write on the factory packaging. This is how I do it.
