RE: XBian-backup
Hmmm, having absolutely no idea what's going wrong with your RPi's
Updated three Devices (1x Hummingboard, 1x RPi1, 1x RPi3) with package xbian-package-config-shell and -config-xbmc without any issue |

Those commands I posted were token from cron job which is executed daily. Quote:Anyway, all is put back to normal now and we'll see how it goes until the weekend. Yeah, let's wait and drinking tea Btw, found small bug in backup scripts, but does not affect your issue (Automatic remove of old images files did not work if image backup was started manually from Kodi GUI) |

RE: XBian-backup
Just to say that after 4 weeks no more issues have occured and all update/upgrade packages have installed fine. Also, the snapshots are all being made with the last 7 daily snaps only being kept.

All hints are displayed until manually close and can be disabled. And or course, an 'Enable all Hints' function has also been added to Preferences section Will put to devel repo next days for testing |

RE: XBian-backup
What is the difference between 'system' backup and 'home' backup? If I do 'system' backup every day, is there a reason to also do a 'home' backup? ???

RE: XBian-backup
The difference is:
System backup does a backup of complete sd-card, home backup only /home subvolume, you can say system backup includes home backup. That means, if you are running system backup every day, home backup is useless (and no home backup hint will be ever displayed) |

RE: XBian-backup
BUT:
most changes are usually done in /home, so IMO it makes sense doing a system backup weekly (or monthly) and home backup daily (or weekly) That's what I'm doing in the future |

You can get a list of your snapshots by typing the command sudo btrfs-auto-snapshot list Quote:When we choose the destination file, in system backup, does it mean that every backup will be done with that name, overwriting the previous one? No, if you're using default file name. This has variable $(date +%F), it means that file name always contains current date (YYYY-MM-DD) |

It is always better to have snapshots than to have no snaps Quote:Transmission settings, resume, etc are in home backups? If you're using xbian-package-transmission package, yes - everything is in /home. But if the files you're leeching and seeding are in /home also, it would be better to make separate subvolume under /home and exclude this volume from snapshotting. Means your sd-card does not running full by snapshots and your leeching and seeding files are not in /home backup (supposing it does not make sense to backup them) |
