Initially my post had a typo, I do a complete scan on 10,000 tracks on a
pi4 in 4 minutes, so unless you have 150,000 files (possible), it
shouldnt take over an hour on a pi4
I have my files on an attached USB drive, and I created a directory for
the files (/mnt/MUSIC/FLAC) and a dir for my script and backups
(/mnt/MUSIC/Other)
My script is simply
Code:
--------------------
# backup.sh
tar -chzvf /mnt/MUSIC/Other/piCorePlayer_Backup.tgz \
/mnt/MUSIC/Other/ \
/mnt/MUSIC/Playlists/ \
/usr/local/slimserver/prefs/ \
/mnt/CACHE/slimserver/prefs/ \
/mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/mydata.tgz
# backing up usr/local/slimserver/prefs/ is redundant
--------------------
In Tweeks, I have a cron to Tar weekly (0 1 * * 0
/mnt/MUSIC/Other/backup.sh)
And on another pi, I copy over the backup with rsync, with a cron of
Code:
--------------------
# rsync piCorePlayer Backup from piCorePlayer every Sunday at 2am
0 2 * * 0 /usr/bin/rsync -a
tc@picoreplayer:/mnt/MUSIC/Other/piCorePlayer_Backup.tgz /home/pi
