I just published another release 0.7.0.3 of raspiBackup because hostnames which include the string "-e" causes raspiBackups smart recycle to fail. If you have "-e" in your hostname please upgrade immediately. #raspibackup#raspberrypi
Unfortunately the first rsync backup with the new release 0.7 will be a full backup. Read github.com/framps/raspiBa… how to get raspiBackup to create an incremental backup instead #raspiBackup#raspberrypi
I unpublished recent raspiBackup beta.
There have been various changes that I want to test carefully first. But there is light at the end of the tunnel :-) #raspiBackup#raspberrypi
I got a feature request recently which will minimze the downtime of any services: Use btrfs snapshots to create the system backup locally and then xfer the backup to the remote backup partition. I will work on this for next release #raspiBackup#raspberrypi
In next release of raspiBackup the partitions to restore can be selected and if rsync is used a fast rsync restore to an existing system can be done just to wipe out any changes which cause the updated system no longer to boot.
#raspiBackup # raspberrypi
I hope to be able to release a new beta of raspiBackup next month. The announced feature to backup external partitions will not be included. The testing effort is simply too great.
@fmarzocca I saw your issue. I'm busy working on new features of raspiBackup right now. I suggest to add a detailed description in your issue how to reproduce the issue and what's the OS level and RPi HW you use. This may attract folks to look at your issue.
I forgot to mention the clone feature will not be added to raspiBackup given raspiBackup's design is targeted for backups and not cloning. There is a tool called rpi-clone available which clones systems perfectly. #raspiBackup#raspberrypi
Just working on a new feature of raspiBackup: Backup external partitions in addition to the OS partitions. Then you can also backup your music partition or any other external connected partition. Refactoring code is required and needs some time ... #raspiBackup#raspberrypi
There is now a raspiBackup prototype available which supports to clone a running system to another device. Useful to create a cold standby backup :-). For details see github.com/framps/raspiBa…#raspiBackup#raspberrypi
rpi-clone is broken again on Bookworm :-( Yesterday the link from /boot/cmdline.txt to /boot/firmware/cmdline.txt was removed in an update. #raspberrypi
