[arm-allstar] USB Backup

[Chris Souleles]

I just did a full image usb back up today and it worked fine.  I put the usb in my computer used win32diskimager  and copied the image to a different micro SD and put it in a different node and it worked fine. For what it is worth I like the image back up.   Chris - W6CS - 73.

Dave,

I had not tried the backup in quite awhile. I just tried usb-backup.sh and
it did work. It gave me an error 2 though for some reason. I will have to
look and see what that means. The tar file is over on the USB stick and
shows up in the restore. It also looks and verifies intact. I am using a
FAT32 formatted 32G USB stick with other data on it. So you don't need a
clean USB stick.

What were you seeing or what was not working?

I do think we probably need to take the image backup off the distribution
though. It was never a good idea to backup a live Linux system like that.
Best to just shutdown and remove the card and backup using DD or
win32diskimager.
