Bernie;
Will you make a .xo or rpm of your backup for standalone instances of
Soas?
All we need is a new control panel item in Sugar and add 3 scripts to
ds-backup-client. I'm attaching patches to do both things.
You can test this functionality in os180py.
The current implementation works, but is way too crude for upstreaming
it. My TODO list contains:
1) Discuss UI refinements proposed by Eben (see his post to sugar-devel)
2) Integrate the USB backup/restore functionality developed by Esteban
for LATU.
3) Address the concerns of Martin Langhoff regarding destroying the
current journal contents on restore.
How would I convert it to a .xo file?
Is there a reference I should consult?
I am running from the command line now.
Documentation for creating bundles is here:
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Development_Team/Almanac/Activity_Bundles
But I feel that backup/restore should be core Sugar functionality, not
implemented as an activity.
Bernie;
Thanks for responding.
I am still thinking of the "sneakernet" use case where there is no
networking to use for backup.
It does NOT backup or restore the journal.
(It will restore to a new unchanged script created USB. (I am still
testing). This would be useful if
the overlay got corrupted or full..
The deja-dup functionality is neat:
....................................................
"Features:
• Support for local or remote backup locations, including Amazon S3
• Securely encrypts and compresses your data
• Incrementally backs up, letting you restore from any particular backup
• Schedules regular backups"
....................................
I have "sugarized" it so that it is listed in the f3 ring as an icon.
The next step is to try to make it into a .xo bundle.
Thanks for the link.
deja-dup seems to requireit be used on the same version of Soas.iso
ie: cannot restore RC3 to a RC2 soas stick.
Does not seem to work with f12 Blueberry. (I installed it but get errors
on restore)
Seems to require the backup USB (fat32) to be paired with a specific stick.
