hi
i have a RUTX11 with Perl and a lot private SW installed. it is realy difficult to rebuild it from scratch.
So i want to make a Backup of the entire flash storage wit dd.Something in this style:
dd if=/dev/mtd0 of=/mnt/usb/rutx11_mtd0_backup.img bs=4M status=progressis it enough to do it only with mdt0?
Hello,
I would recommend editing the /etc/sysupgrade.conf file, which will allow you to enter the directories of your said software in order to preserve them when creating a new backup:
After adding said lines, you can then create a backup via the sysupgrade -b <file_name> command.
For more available commands, you can access the CLI/SSH and enter sysupgrade -h.

very good, i will test it.
You have also an idea to backup my perl installed over cli opkg tools?
Just to be sure - do you mean to backup the package itself?

no, there is no package for perl, i installed it with opkg install ……
Yes, so you installed the “Perl” package. I presume this is some 3rd-party package that you installed since we don’t directly offer downloading of it.
In this case, the logic would be the same, simply adding the package file paths to the same sysupgrade.conf file. However, backing up packages themselves is not recommended, as it may break some things or cause errors to occur, better to just re-install it by hand after the upgrade/reset has been done.
