Thanks to Musher0 for his cautionary reminder.musher0 wrote:Just a general reminder:
In addition to the suggestions above
you can safely do a regular back-up of your pupsave file with zip, lzop or other,
while in the Pup, provided no other program is running.
Meaning: you don't play a game, you don't edit a text, you don't browse through
your music collection, etc., until your backup is finished.
IHTH
We tried running SnapMergePuppy ( from 'save-2-flash )
at the same time as
the current "hotbackup" ( v.1.2 ).
Results : both programs "froze" or "Locked-Up".
... may be result from 'sync' and 'tar' conflicting for control.
Solution: Control-'C' or 'Control-Alt-Del' to kill everything.
It is just as Musher0 warned :
Run one 'task' at a time.
Do Not Play Games with your Data !
