    BACKUPMON BACKUPMON v1.7.2 -Apr 1, 2024- Backup/Restore your Router: JFFS + NVRAM + External USB Drive! CIFS/SMB/NFS! (Now available in AMTM!)

    Is there any way to set vi/vim as the editor rather than nano ? Pete

    Ah - I see. Apologies for the confusion. I've set up a cron job to rsync the ssd backups to a brand new usb key daily, so hopefully getting the performance and reliability of the SSD and a belt and braces job with the new usb key. I'll have a look at setting up a partition on one of my...

    Hi Viktor. Transferred the stuff from my 2 USB keys to the Samsung 128Gb SSD in a caddy. All seems to be working well. However, a question - you suggested putting everything on the one partition. I've done that and now Backupmon warns me about having the backup system on the same disk...

    I have a spare 128Gb SSD so I've ordered an enclosure for that. Thanks for the advice. This was the result of a disk check after reboot: disk_check.log has this content: START FILE _____________________________________________ Mon Mar 11 11:35:33 DST 2024 Waited 2s for NTP to sync date...

    All of the exit codes for the usb3.tar.gz came back as 0. one of the jffs.tar.gz came back with '1' and the message: "tar: short read" My guess is that you're correct - I'm seeing my USB drive deteriorating. I'll see what happens on the reboot, but I'm putting this down to a bad USB drive. Pete

    OK - I've ordered a couple of replacement drives. I'll try to do this tomorrow. Well I redirected stdout to null and nothing came out on stderr. I'm running a batch on all of the usb3.tar.gz files on the usb drive to check the return value. Question: is there a way to increase the verbosity...

    Hi Viktor. Started on 4th March with a JFFS error: **ERROR**: Errors detected creating JFFS tar file. then the errors for the usb tar file started 2 days ago and I've had three episodes of that message (the last one being a manual attempt). Yes - tar tzf gives what appears to be a full...

    Hi. I'm getting this message in my log files: Mar 10 2024 17:54:34 RT-AC68U-D230 BACKUPMON[8850] - INFO: External drive (USB) mounted successfully as: /tmp/mnt/RouterBackup Mar 10 2024 17:54:48 RT-AC68U-D230 BACKUPMON[8850] - INFO: Finished backing up JFFS to...

    Solved How to redirect my local domain to an externally hosted web server

    Hi. My local domain on my Asus AC68U running Merlin is, for example myname.co.uk. All of my local machines therefore can resolve names such as laptop1.myname.co.uk and get the local IP address. I have an external web server www.myname.co.uk running on a digital ocean server. My problem is...

    spdMerlin spdMerlin - v4.x - speedtest and bandwidth monitoring

    @Jack Yaz - Would it be possible to have an option to keep more than 30 days of data ? Perhaps an option to archive records > 30 days to a USB drive ? Or do I need to pull down the sqlite database on a regular basis ?

    spdMerlin spdMerlin - v4.x - speedtest and bandwidth monitoring

    You can probably roll that back, because the 7za binary I had didn't work anyway. May be worth noting in the README that it is worth running a couple of cycles of opkg update/opkg upgrade to ensure that the entware packages are up to date ?

    spdMerlin spdMerlin - v4.x - speedtest and bandwidth monitoring

    OK. I'd forgotten it was like a debian package management system. after opkg update and opkg upgrade it informed me File /opt/etc/opkg.conf upgraded, new repository set! Please run opkg update + opkg upgrade once more so I've run the update/upgrade cycle twice and now I have the 7z binary...

    spdMerlin spdMerlin - v4.x - speedtest and bandwidth monitoring

    I installed entware a long time ago and haven't touched it since. I know this is off topic but anyone have an idea what to do ? Can I upgrade entware or do I need a complete reinstall of it ?

    spdMerlin spdMerlin - v4.x - speedtest and bandwidth monitoring

    Hmmm. I edited the spdmerlin script to change 7z to 7za, and get this: /opt/bin/7za: /opt/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.8' not found (required by /opt/bin/7za) /opt/bin/7za: /opt/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.9' not found (required by /opt/bin/7za) mv: can't rename...

    Ah - yes ... Downloading http://pkg.entware.net/binaries/armv7/Packages.gz. Updated list of available packages in /opt/var/opkg-lists/packages. Package p7zip (16.02-1) installed in root is up to date. /opt/bin/spdmerlin: line 2864: /opt/bin/7z: not found mv: can't rename...
