[arm-allstar] Backup on Rasperry Pi

[Luc Drolet VE2LUQ]

Hi Doug,

Yes it works, very simple
Thank you, I'm happy with this operation
now I will do another test,
I want to find this file in my Rasperry Pi

/NODE1415_2018-07-29-2738.tgz

because on my site right now I do not have a USB stick in my raspberry, later I will go and carry USB sticks

but for now I can not find this file
