Backup the La Fonera

Posted by coldtobi | 14 Apr, 2007, 12:22

For analyzing, its often more comfortable to have a compelte backup of the La Fonera's filesystem at your PC. This mini-howto shows how to backup the filesystem of the Fonera.

Note: You need ssh enabled for this.

  1. Generate a directory for the backup
  2. cd to that directory
  3. In a shell of your choice, do: (NB: of course, not on the fonera, on your local computer)
ssh root@<ip-address-of-fonera> tar cf - /bin /etc /jffs /lib /mnt /rom /sbin /tmp /tmp_store /usr /var /www /sys | tar xvf - 
  1. Enter your password, wait for completion and enjoy your local filesystem copy

NB: "/dev" is not backuped. As these are device-files, this makes not really sense...
