Re: [Testers needed] BackupMenu V2 - OS backup & restore
Ok, my restore did work in the end, but it never gives me any indication of when it's done, so I just have to guess and hope for the best then cancel out.
This happens with both optfs and rootfs. Summarise: Backing up: Both optfs and rootfs, individually or together: No error messages, however just hangs after a certain size but creates a working tar file. Restoring: Both optfs and rootfs, individually or together: No error messages, no indication of progress (Size: N/A). However does seem to restore, just have to leave it for long enough then cancel out. RootFS took 400+ seconds to back up, 100-200 to restore. Edit: this happens on 2 N900s on PR1.3, one has very few apps installed and is not too different from stock, other has lots and lots of apps installed including custom scripts etc. |

...I didn't make any sort of announcement. I shouldn't have posted the link on the front page yet.
Yes, it was broken. -now-, with 0.50-3, it should work right. But only if you download it -after- the time of this post. Ok, now you guys can try the latest version: 0.50-3 You can get it at: http://robbiethe1st.afraid.org/Backu...0.50-3_all.deb http://robbiethe1st.afraid.org/Backu..._amd64.changes for the changelog Let me know how this goes - I think I improved the tar loop setup. |

Really appreciate all the work you're doing on this, makes it so much easier and simpler to switch N900s :) |

It's just that I have an indirect link for less than an hour, and someone manages to download it.

Re: [Testers needed] BackupMenu V2 - OS backup & restore
Ah right :P backing up with the new version as we speak, rootfs just finished perfectly :)
Great work! |

Re: [Testers needed] BackupMenu V2 - OS backup & restore
Backed up to eMMC and SD using 50-3
eMMC: rootfs filesize: 321MB optfs filesize: 988MB SD: rootfs filesize: 321MB optfs filesize: 227MB Rootfs filesize is consistent but seems large, can I trust it? SD: 2nd opffs try filesize 222MB |

I'm now typing from my girlfriend's n900 which i've just restored to my os :D
The slightly dodgy backup created with 48 restored perfectly. Thanks Robbie, where's the donate button? |

Works like a charme. Thanks Robbie. Great app.

Optfs looks bad. I'm assuming it's 900M, not 200. I'd rerun backup, it's possible something went wrong. You did check the obvious avenues, like free space on SD, stuff like that? |
