User Feedback :: Location of backed-up data

When I backup my settings with DSLpanel -> Backup/Restore what is the name of the file where the data goes? I'm backing up to hda1.

backup.tar.gz
It will be in the root of hda1

Thanks a bunch. It was right under my nose!

Is the name of this file something that can be made configurable? I think it would be a very handy way to be able to have multiple users on a live-cd or frugal-install based system.

Perhaps it could be made such that a specific filename is called for on boot via cheatcode?

just a thought.

You can sorta do it with the myDSL system. Athough backup.tar.gz is loaded *after* any myDSL apps, you can rename backup.tar.gz to something like zzzzzz.tar.gz and have it load after any myDSL apps you might have auto-loading. Put the archive in a subdirectory, such as "d2d", then use the the boot option "mydsl=hda1/d2d".
