A Q or better an idea related to the backup function. Which I think is a nice feature.
By reading the code I figured that 1. only the effective image size gets backed up - GREAT - and 2. the whole thing gets gzipped 3. I also saw that the space gets checked on the target Now. By definition the backup supposedly works towards attached USB disks only. Hmmh. However. With 2/4/8 GB RAM at hand, a backup of rather small partitions could easily be done and stored on /tmp tmpfs without a USB-disk attached. >From /tmp the image could then easily be transferred via scp to whatever destination. Doing it this way has an IMO huge advantage since you could run all the backups in the house without carrying your USB-HDDs from A2B around. I think this small change could easily be accomplished in the code. And would make the backup function even more useful. \SC :::' my blog - latest: \"The Audio Streaming Series - introducing: tuning kit - pCP (beta)\" ' (http://soundcheck-audio.blogspot.com)::: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ soundcheck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34383 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113512 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
