Re: Backing up Flows (and the entire RPI)

Easy to do from within Raspberry Pi desktop.

Best I talk you through the setup.? Can do a phone call.

E-mail me privately. ? ?15 minute job.

Hi All. -- to my Linux gurus

My setup is a RPI4 running NR.? I also have a Windows 10 PC on the LAN.

What I would like to do is backup the entire RPI to the PC so that when I have a card failure on the Pi I could easily rebuild?it.

Would doing a full copy from root on down using WinSCP do it?? Or, are there better tools?

I want to do the backup remotely and on a schedule.? If I had to rebuild it, I would have to swap out the uSD card physically, but that part is ok.

(yes, I could pull the card and make an image but it would be too infrequent).

Or, does it make sense to do what we do on the Windows world?
  • backup all the data files
  • On failure, rebuild the RPI from the latest build
  • Reinstall the tools I need, like NR
  • copy back the user files
thoughts?
