David; Here is a Backup Method that works for USB/SD sticks: (can you add this to Floss Manual as a backup method)
do this outside of sugar: ------------------------------------------------------ How to backup an installed live USB via a .img file dd if=/dev/sdg of=xxxxxx.img NOTE IN ROOT (#) # dd if=/dev/sdg of=xxxxxx.img * 7856127+0 records in 7856127+0 records out 4022337024 bytes (4.0 GB) copied, 180.628 s, 22.3 MB/s (4GB USB imaged) to write .img file to USB: dd if=xxxxxx.img of=/dev/sdg bs=4M p# dd if=xxxxxx.img of=/dev/sdg bs=4M * 958+1 records in 958+1 records out 4022337024 bytes (4.0 GB) copied, 399.829 s, 10.1 MB/s * be sure this is your USB: (/dev/sdg)! bs=4M speeds up writes to USB (Block size writes match USB File structure per cyberorg on #sugar on IRC) ------------------------------------------------- This works, .img file can be stored on CD or burned to 2nd USB and stored off site. Great fast backup Tom Gilliard satellit _______________________________________________ SoaS mailing list [email protected] http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/soas
