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. Tom Gilliard satellit still testing...: ) Link: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/deja-dup">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/deja-dup</a> <blockquote cite="mid:1274132892.8922.32.camel@giskard" type="cite"> <pre wrap=""></pre> <pre wrap=""> <hr size="4" width="90%"> _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org">Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel">http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel</a> </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
