if you do a backup, all files and directories named in the file: /home/dsl/filetool.lst will be put in the backup-file.
so if you want to save i.e. firefox settings
add
/home/dsl/.phoenix
/home/dsl/.mozilla
to this file
if you look into the filetool.lst you will see the first line is:
/home/dsl/filetool.lst
that means that it the file itself is backed up to.
a little problem may be if you run DSL from the stick (that is jou do not use toram)
if you want to backup to /dev/sda1 you get mount errors
i solved it this way:
i backup to /cdrom ( that is NOT the real cdrom, but the root of your bootdevice )
first i make /cdrom writeable ( sudo mount /cdrom -o remount,rw)
then make a /opt/.backup_device file ( echo "/cdrom" >/opt/.backup_device.
then do a backup (filetool.sh backup noprompt noprompt)
this can easy be automated.
1. create an S49dsl_restore.dsl ( its is a q&d patched replacement of /etc/rc5.d/S49dsl_restore, the only modyfication is
| Code Sample |
# Aw schucks, sorry I couldn't mount any drive that I know...
BACKUP_DEVICE="/cdrom"
echo "$BACKUP_DEVICE" > /opt/.backup_device
return
|
)
2 add to bootlocal.sh: mount /cdrom -o remount,rw
3 uncomment in powerdown.sh : filetool.sh backup noprompt noprompt
done.
this way i can have /KNOPPIX/knoppix.img AND dsl extensions AND backup-file in the same diskpartion
maybe someone knows a better way?
