Re: [Announce] BackupMenu V2 - OS backup & restore
 

The only way I can see to try to figure this out is to flash to PR1.3, install backupmeu, test. Then, restore apps a few at a time to see where it breaks.

Re: [Announce] BackupMenu V2 - OS backup & restore
 

Unfortunately, I'll have to leave that to somebody else.

I have too many changes and customizations to completely reflash my daily device. I will work it backwards, and start purging my most recently installed packages and see what happens.

Fair enough; I understand completely.

Thanks again for your work on the script, package and support in this thread.

Re: [Announce] BackupMenu V2 - OS backup & restore
 

while restoring it didn't give me errors but MYDocs it did not restored!!

why???

Re: [Announce] BackupMenu V2 - OS backup & restore
 

It does not back up MyDocs due to the IMMENSE size. This will backup and restore rootfs and optfs.

Where did you plan on backing up, a possible 32GB of files to?

Re: [Announce] BackupMenu V2 - OS backup & restore
 

oke understood,

question of a noob

apps what i had installed manually with dpkg,
is there a possibility to copy that installed app as a deb to install it later after reflash??

thanks

Yes and no. If you are looking for the .deb, you -may- find it in the cache under "./opt/var/cache/apt/archives/" inside a OptFS image.
You can list all such files with:
"tar tvf ./*date*-optfs.tar ./opt/var/cache/apt/archives/"
And then extract by changing the 't' to a 'x' in 'tvf'

This is so damn simple, why people can't this figure out by themselfs?:

Connect your N900 via mass storage mode, and copy all of the contents into a specified folder of your computer.

Voila, there is your MyDocs folder backup!


While in the other hand, you can NOT do this to rootfs and optfs, that's why this application was created.
