Hi folks. Bumping up an old but useful thread, with many thanks to forum member r__hugues for remembering (Suggestion: Browse the thread backwards, if you wish to get the updates, the corrections and the locales.)

Hi guys. A few notes -- 1) Double-checking, I realized the *.desktop file had not been corrected with nilson morales' correction. So here goes. Please install ASRI's version of the pet, then squish the original "Pupsave-hot-backup.desktop" file at /usr/share/applications with the following:
2) For modern Pups (i.e. Pups since late 2014), this utility does not know what to do with the /mnt/home symlink. In the 2nd line (please see screen capture above), i.e. the destination line, the user has to specify the partition if the entry says "/mnt/home". E.g. if your /mnt/home is /mnt/sda1, you have to fetch sda1 plus the proper destination directory in the GTK file list, by clicking on the folder icon at the right. Similarly, if your /mnt/home is at /mnt/sdb2, you have to fetch /mnt/sdb2, and so on. 3) This utility copies a live pupsave and adds a time and date stamp to it: that's all it does. If you need to save space, you have to use zip or PackIt or your favorite archiver to compress the BCK file it creates, as an additional step. 4) Finally, as ASRI mentioned above, please keep in mind this utility is for pupsave files, NOT folders.

An excellent extension of this utility would be to back up the saved save file to an online host, eg your google drive, using the drive command or rclone |

ReCycler, Your idea is a "bulletproof" approach to backing up and development. "Tip of the Hat to you !" _________________ Puppy Linux is more fun than a barrel of M$ monkeys
