I have deleted entries in both and they were restored, after rebooting the stick. deja-dup does not appear to touch the journal entries, and is very efficient in it's use of the 4GB USB I am using for backup. I am still testing.... Tom Gilliard My main question is: How would I convert it to a .xo file? Is there a reference I should consult? I am running from the command line now.

See the ds-backup-client package made by OLPC. At ParaguayEduca we also developed a control panel icon to perform manual backups and restores. We've also started to look at a procedure to make the contents of the journal accessible through links in the Documents folder. The opposite could also be done. Additionally, Uruguay extended the Journal to backup and restore to USB sticks. During this release cycle, we'll work to merge these changes with ours into a consistent UI. </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
