Sorry for my ignorance - 2 questions.
I have a Dietpi Odroid XU4 as a server AND client. I want to create a back up of the SD card and NOT the attached USB hard drive. I thought “ALL_NONUSB” would do the trick but it fails. What do I enter into the volume field? I get the same error for a Ubuntu 16.4 client.
Thanks for the help.
NO. Image backup is for Windows systems ONLY.
While @hippy1970 is technically correct – image backups do only work for Windows computers – people have found ways to backup their LVMs. I have never done that, but there should be a post or two on the forums about “LVM Image Backup” or something similar.
I have no idea what a Dietpi Odroid XU4 is, but as compared to Ubuntu – if it has the same file structure – you only need to put the directory.
For example, if your SD was located here:
/mnt/SD/
Then you can add a wildcard in your file-inclusion (or your default directory if you are only backing up that one directory) as:
File-Inclusion:
/mnt/SD/*.*
Default Directory:
/mnt/SD/
If those do not work for you, there are server logs located where your UrBackup server directory is;
app.log - will more or less tell you what happened during things like running scripts.
urbackup.log - will tell you why a client isn’t being backed up, or what it did backup.
UrBackup will automatically make new logs once it reaches a certain file-size, but you should be able to read any and all UrBackup logs using things like Notepad++, gedit, nano, or vi.
