[arm-allstar] Backing up files on bad SD Card

[Mike Sullivan]

Alright, got everything moved over.. testing everything out, configuring
VPN and whatnot.. however I'm trying to log in on Supermon and the login
window isn't popping up. Supermon pages show up fine, but when I hit Login,
I don't see the window to log in.
