[How to] Make periodic backups of whole OSMC system

HowTo
102

Please try version 0.1.7 where I have added some tweaks which may avoid these errors.

103

Ok 0.1.7 works great except for one small thing, it is not removing the /media/backup directory when it finishes.

It seems it is not unmounting and rmdir the /media/backup directory. No errors in the log file though :confused:

104

Did you ask it to? I didnā€™t make any changes myself to allow for a setup like yours.

105

Well, thatā€™d explain it! :innocent:

106

Thanks! That sorted it and the backup now boots.
Great stuff!

107

hello,
this is a great script. im try to use today and i have a little problem
I git it and OK
i mount a NFS unit and OK
but when i run the script a lot of files give me this error:
failed:Operation not permitted (1)

any idea?
thanks a lot

108

Can you pastebin the output containing the errors?

109

Just saying thanks for providing this great resource. Installed on my Raspberry Pi3, up and running no issues.

30 posts were split to a new topic: Need help with full backup

Can do, while it would be interesting for the threat to might precise the instructions :wink:

141

Hi, will this script work backing up the whole OSMC for Vero V?

I wish there was something like timeshift or clonezilla

thanks

142

Yes. It backs up my daily driver every night. Iā€™ve only had to restore a system to vero once in years (actually to clone a system to a new box). Vero 4k and V are far more reliable than the RPi that I originally wrote this for.

I know @sam_nazarko has some ideas for making restoring a backup image simpler.

143

Yes, but it will be a while before I get around to that and be specific to Vero.
