I have put my LMS cache on the SD card so that I can back up the whole
card on my PC. I'm a bit of an enthusiast for backup copies of valuable
stuff. And recently I was pleased to be able to restore from PC to SD
card with a fully working and only slightly out of date LMS. I never did
find out what caused the RPi to crash and corrupt its SD card, but the
same card is still chugging on. The SD card has been home to the cache
for several months now, running 24/7 and has been reliable except for
that one crash.

My RPi file system is also expanded to the card's full 8GB, after my
eventually working out that the problems I was experiencing during LMS
scans were caused by LMS needing a bit more than the storage that was
then available (IIRC, that was 2GB at the time). The minor downside is
that backing up the card takes rather longer than it did - possibly a
bit under 30 minutes.
