I was leaving it as an open playground to allow people to try different things, using it for troubleshooting, or making a new connection to another device without screwing up their regular settings... Suppose there might be a way to import settings from the regular config... I'll look into this!
Well, that was easy enough... LOL.

And working sweet as a nut.Well, that was easy enough... LOL.
What's new?
v1.23b2 - (TBA)
- ADDED: Added the ability to import your primary or secondary backup settings into the Backup Target Network Connection Tester. Thanks to @PeterT for the suggestion!

/dev/sdb1 on /tmp/mnt/MERLIN type ext4 (rw,nodev,relatime,data=ordered)
/dev/sda2 on /tmp/mnt/TimeMachine type ext4 (rw,nodev,relatime,data=ordered)
/dev/sda3 on /tmp/mnt/Boot_OS_X type thfsplus (rw,nodev,relatime,umask=0000,uid=0,gid=0,readahead=1M,utf8)What happens when you run this command?
nvram get usb_path_sda1_labelsda1 will always be the case. That's why you should always use unique volume labels rather than device names.sda, becomes sdb, becomes sdc, etc.
So you're saying it would probably be a good idea to get user input on which device they'd want backed up... using sda1 as a default, but letting them fill in the blank... sdXX... or maybe even forgo this and just go straight with /tmp/mnt/label paths... hum.
What happens when you run this command?
Code:nvram get usb_path_sda1_label
If you don't already have another device mounted, it could be that it swapped it? Did you bring this drive over from another router, and didn't format it? I'm not sure what other scenarios are out there, but if you only have 1 EXT USB drive, it should be assigned to sda1. I found this other post that mentions sda1 and sdb1 swapping... https://www.snbforums.com/threads/drive-gets-different-mount-points-after-reboot.63110/ and this: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/d...cker-released-april-02-2023.79823/post-868777
Not sure if you just need to unplug, reboot, plug it back in for it to get back to sda1? Perhaps @ColinTaylor has some advice on this one? I think worst case would be to format, disconnect, reboot router, reconnect, format using AMTM, and seeing if it now likes sda1. But again, seek advice from someone who knows what they're talking about...
nvram get usb_path_sda1_labelEFII'm probably going to make a release of BACKUPMON here soon that includes all latest changes in the beta... but immediately following, will start working on a way for you to selectively choose which device you want to backup... based on its label. So for those... please make sure you have named your EXT USB drive!

/dev/sda3: LABEL="Boot OS X" UUID="166032f7-ca81-3676-8061-6be63da7e0ed"
/dev/sda2: LABEL="TimeMachine" UUID="533c11b8-b5df-41bf-be1d-0e0a8d1e597b"
/dev/sda1: LABEL="EFI" UUID="67E3-17ED"
/dev/sdb1: LABEL="MERLIN" UUID="28b05140-9891-4972-bd1f-f241c8492d11"I'll experiment... we'll see!
I'm going to guess not since it has the probability of changing on the next format... The drive label would probably still be the safest way to keep track of things in order to restore to the right device.
I have a custom shell script that I use whenever I want to have menu-driven options so the user can select the mount point of a target USB-attached drive partition. If I understood correctly what you're trying to do, I think you could use it (perhaps with some minor changes) in your own script. If you'd like to take a look, let me know and I can put it in PasteBin.... but immediately following, will start working on a way for you to selectively choose which device you want to backup... based on its label.

That would be awesome, @Martinski! I was planning on displaying a list of available sdXX devices currently identified through the mount command, and having people pick the label of the device they want to have backed up. I built a simple selector in RTRMON, and was going to see if I could reuse that, but I'm totally game to see how you approach this! Thanks in advance!
