Re: [Announce] BackupMenu - OS backup & restore | New version - Jul 9th(v1.1)

Don't mention it, just came around. :)

I'm trying to get rid of the error messages about the failed copy of the not anymore needed libacl.so.1 and libattr.so.1.1.0

The 2 copy commands are called from filelist.txt which is in /usr/share/backupmenu/extrafiles.tar.gz.

I did it this way:

backup of extrafiles.tar.gz

Code:

Nokia-N900:~# cp /usr/share/backupmenu/extrafiles.tar.gz /home/user/MyDocs/

extract extrafiles and edit filelist.txt

Code:

Nokia-N900:~# cd /usr/share/backupmenu/

Nokia-N900:/usr/share/backupmenu# ls

BackupMenu.item          extrafiles.tar.gz

BackupMenuLauncher.item  tar

Nokia-N900:/usr/share/backupmenu# mkdir temp

Nokia-N900:/usr/share/backupmenu# cp extrafiles.tar.gz ./temp

Nokia-N900:/usr/share/backupmenu# cd temp/

Nokia-N900:/usr/share/backupmenu/temp# tar xfvz extrafiles.tar.gz

./bin/

./bin/mountsd

./bin/getlockcode

./bin/mountroot

./bin/mountopt

./bin/charge.sh

./bin/mountmydocs

./bin/loadkmap

./filelist.txt

./nokia-n900.kmap

Nokia-N900:/usr/share/backupmenu/temp# nano filelist.txt

delete the two lines

Code:

cp /lib/libacl.so.1 /tmp/disk/lib/

cp /lib/libattr.so.1.1.0 /tmp/disk/lib/

recompress tar.gz, move and clean up

Code:

Nokia-N900:/usr/share/backupmenu/temp# rm extrafiles.tar.gz

Nokia-N900:/usr/share/backupmenu/temp# tar cvfz extrafiles.tar.gz ./*

./bin/

./bin/mountsd

./bin/getlockcode

./bin/mountroot

./bin/mountopt

./bin/charge.sh

./bin/mountmydocs

./bin/loadkmap

./filelist.txt

./nokia-n900.kmap

Nokia-N900:/usr/share/backupmenu/temp# mv extrafiles.tar.gz ..

Nokia-N900:/usr/share/backupmenu/temp# cd ..

Nokia-N900:/usr/share/backupmenu# rm -r ./temp/

Nokia-N900:/usr/share/backupmenu# ls

BackupMenu.item          extrafiles.tar.gz

BackupMenuLauncher.item  tar

Nokia-N900:/usr/share/backupmenu# chmod +x extrafiles.tar.gz

Nokia-N900:/usr/share/backupmenu# reboot

This is not the fastest and safest way, but I'm learning.
Maybe it helps somebody.

Re: [Announce] BackupMenu - OS backup & restore | New version - Jul 9th(v1.1)

..wow!! :)

..but i was, umm.. less gutsy, so i just installed the two files:

Code:

apt-get install -y libacl1

..it automatically installs libattr as a dependency.
Meh!
:p

Re: [Announce] BackupMenu - OS backup & restore | New version - Jul 9th(v1.1)

Nice, this is more helpful, searched the forum for a fast solution but couldn't find one. :)

Code:

Nokia-N900:~# cp /home/user/MyDocs/extrafiles.tar.gz /usr/share/backupmenu/

Nokia-N900:~# reboot

;)

The bright side is, that many even more capable ones are working on re-creating backupmenu using fbcon instead of ugly text2screen (and integrate it with recovery console mode), so probably, we're going to have better, updated alternative.

Could you link to this project, please?

Re: [Announce] BackupMenu - OS backup & restore | New version - Jul 9th(v1.1)

I'll try to find it, but it may be a little out-of-date - it was mentioned in discussions about recovery shell mode. AFAIK, after initial plans, it wasn't pushed further (as, having recovery shell, you can perform same actions manually. Yet, I agree, that more automated way ala' backupmenu would be much more convenient).

BackupMenu for U-Boot (by ivyking at post 915) is already based on FB.
It use a MeeGo's Rescue image modified to launch BackupMenu.

There are some minor errors to correct, ivyking has used the original and unmodified BackupMenu script which thinks to boot from Maemo and not from MeeGo's InitRD, but it is working and enough usable.

I guess this is what you were referring to? Looks interesting enough...

Yea, and the:

It's a pity, that more knowledgeable ones haven't pushed it further (especially, ivyking version).

Well, I'm still subscribing to that thread! Thanks!

Re: [Announce] BackupMenu - OS backup & restore | New version - Jul 9th(v1.1)

Does anyone have the file for the ivvking version ? It's gone from the file sharing service ...

Thanks
