It would be really helpful to have 2 backups of my router. One with and one without the swapfile so that, if for whatever reason, the primary backup (without) is unable to restore my router then I can attempt it with the secondary backup (with). I've had issues with recreating the swapfile...

@Viktor Jaep is there anyway we could get the option to include/exclude the swapfile in the secondary backups, separate from the primary config?

@Viktor Jaep Purging from Primary and Secondary worked.

Sorry @Viktor Jaep , I forgot to mention that I have backed up to AND restored from secondary NFS (Main NFS Server, different IP) without any issues (without swapfile). I wanted to try it because I had issues when trying to recreate my 5GB swapfile (I know it's overkill but I've got space to...

Works now: Messages: INFO: Backup Target (192.168.1.13) reachable via PING. WARNING: External test drive mount point not set. Created under: /tmp/mnt/backups STATUS: External test drive (192.168.1.13:/volume/TestNFS) mounted successfully under: /tmp/mnt/backups STATUS: Daily Test Backup...

@Viktor Jaep I'll post the testing step by step incase I've missed something: Here is the directory before: ls -aln Router/ASUSMerlin/RT-AX88U/ total 420 drwxrwxrwx+ 1 1032 65540 220 Mar 21 17:28 . drwxrwxrwx+ 1 1032 65540 16 Mar 19 11:54 .. drwxrwxrwx+ 1 1032 65540 90 Mar 21 07:21...

That's awesome. This will definitely useful for when I start looking into custom scripts. Just tested and it is the same error. Messages: INFO: Backup Target (192.168.1.13) reachable via PING. INFO: External test drive mount point exists. Found under: /tmp/mnt/backups STATUS: External test...

@Viktor Jaep Thanks for the amazing work you've done on this and for being so interactive in this community. Here are my results: 1. Test NFS Mount Options were not asked for when manually configuring (might be useful to others when configuring/optimizing NFS to use different options than the...

It's a habit for me to obfuscate anything identifying when writing on public forums 🤷‍♂️

It's a Sandisk Ultra Fit Flashdrive until I am able to get a small enough SSD to replace it with. Thanks. That worked. @Viktor Jaep It backed up successfully. 55 Mar 20 2024 15:58:04 router BACKUPMON[19132] - INFO: Successfully wrote a new config file 56 Mar 20 2024 15:58:11 router...

@Viktor Jaep You were right. "dcl" shows: disk_check.log has this content: START FILE _____________________________________________ Tue Mar 19 22:53:21 GMT 2024 Waited 3s for NTP to sync date Tue Mar 19 22:53:21 GMT 2024 Probing 'ext4' on device /dev/sda1 Running disk check with command...

BusyBox v1.25.1 (2024-02-26 21:49:40 EST) multi-call binary Just did a quick scan of the files and didn't find any. I can share a recursive list of files in the directory privately if you want to have a look. Last time I used the script it didn't work. But I'll try it again now. This...

Run it without the trailing slash and added the verbose flag. Still got the same result: user@router:/tmp/mnt# tar -zvcf /tmp/mnt/backups/Router/ASUSMerlin/RT-AX88U/19/usbdrive-test.tar.gz -C /tmp/mnt/Drive1 tar: empty archive Is there anyway to backup without the EXT Drive for the sake of...

@Viktor Jaep it was still mounted on /backups but I'm assuming it's because the backup did not complete successfully? Anyway, this is what I got: user@router:/tmp/mnt# tar -zcf /tmp/mnt/backups/Router/ASUSMerlin/RT-AX88U/19/usbdrive-test.tar.gz -C /tmp/mnt/Drive1/ tar: empty archive...

Just tested it and it failed to complete the backup. Mounting with & without mount options worked and it was able to write the data. Below are the logs: 33 Mar 19 2024 11:52:31 router BACKUPMON[12091] - INFO: Successfully wrote a new config file 34 Mar 19 2024 11:53:14 router BACKUPMON[12091]...
