Looking for ideas/scripts to automate or “make more easy and convenient” (so I actually do it) the backup of my AMTM / Entware / Swap USB device, which in my case is a main/backup pair of Sandisk Max Endurance 64GB micro SD cards in matching Sandisk uSD-to-USB 3.0 adapters. I’m generally pretty...

I currently have a USB drive attached to my Orbi that serves as file storage for movies and photos. I'm thinking of upgrading to a simple NAS with redundancy and better performance than the basic Orbi implementation. While I'm doing this for movies and photos I'd like to also use it for Time...

I want to set up an automatic incremental backup of my SVN repositories. Doing that to a local folder of the same PC seems to work, but if I try to write the files directly to a shared folder (I tried 2 different QNAP NAS boxes) I get various errors, always a couple of hundred lines. I tried...

I implemented automated backup to my Linode (rsync over ssh) a while ago, and yesterday that effort paid off. My router lives on a shelf in a coat closet, and my daughter decided to cram something next to it. It got shoved into the wall and snapped the USB flash drive in two. Thankfully it was...

Been a lurker for a bit here and a Merlin user for about 6 months. Can I backup my settings on my old AC88U to restore on my new AX88U? Curious if anyone has any experience with this. I have a lot setting that I rather not have to redo manually unless I have to. Being they don't seem that much...

On the config page I can add hosts with fixed addresses line by line. How about to add an way to export and import a file of host data (IP/MAC/hostname) as CSV or other format in GUI LAN/DHCP. A new configuration of an existing LAN would be quite easier compared to a rebuild by editing line by line.

Hi all, Because I saw that rsync can do only one-direction sync I started to search for bidirectional sync software. I found unison but I saw that is not on Entware repository. I will update here with other findings. Could you please help me here with other alternatives for rsync with...

Hi everyone, I just replaced my N66U (running Merlin FW) with the better AC86U (running Asuswrt-Merlin 384.7_2), but I cannot find out how to do USB to USB backup like I had configured with the N66U router. Basically, I have 2x 4TB drives (one named "Primary" and one "Secondary") both hooked...
