BACKUPMON BACKUPMON v1.9.1 -Oct 28, 2025- Backup/Restore your Router: JFFS + NVRAM + External USB Drive! CIFS/SMB/NFS! (Available in AMTM!)

OK, but if you are running the -secondary flag, secondary backups would have to already be enabled, which means that the encryption menu would allow you to configure encryption for the secondaries. Or am I missing something?

Do you automatedly enable/disable the secondaries in the config with a script?

No, once secondary backups have been initially enabled/configured, one can disable them and continue to run on demand using the -secondary flag.

Must be a feature, not a bug! Lol

The new single file decryption works great! Thank you!!

 

[salvo]

I tested several single file decryption and all good ! Many thanks !

 

[Ripshod]

Again, tested a full backup and restore - all good here

Yes, it's a feature that you created for me many, many versions ago.

I actually create three (3) different backup sets using backupmon:

1. primary backup to NAS;
2. secondary backup to remote (offsite) NAS; and
3. additional backup to local USB SSD.

Yes, some may consider this overkill, but it's something that works easily in the background. I have three cru entries in services start:

cru a backupmon    "30 0 * * * /bin/sh /jffs/scripts/backupmon.sh -backup"
cru a backupmonSec "35 0 * * * /bin/sh /jffs/scripts/backupmon.sh -secondary"
cru a backupmonUSB "40 0 * * * /bin/sh /jffs/scripts/backupmonUSB"

The backupmonUSB script swaps backupmon.cfg files to change the primary backup destination from network to USB, execute the backup, and revert the backup destination — backupmon.USB and backupmon.network are saved snapshots of the two respective backupmon.cfg files:

#!/bin/sh

cp /jffs/addons/backupmon.d/backupmon.cfg     /jffs/addons/backupmon.d/backupmon.network
cp /jffs/addons/backupmon.d/backupmon.USB     /jffs/addons/backupmon.d/backupmon.cfg

sh /jffs/scripts/backupmon.sh -backup

cp /jffs/addons/backupmon.d/backupmon.network /jffs/addons/backupmon.d/backupmon.cfg

Works like a champ, and now works with encryption!

Must have forgotten about that one! I'll fix the encryption menu so you can configure encryption even on a secondary if it's not enabled.
