Other Help Topics :: error running fieltool.sh

I tried the shell script I suggested, ended up modifing it to:

#!/bin/bash
# Script for Backup of DSL settings to USB.

echo -n "${BLUE}Backing up files to: /cdrom ${NORMAL}"
tar -C / -T /home/dsl/filetool.lst --exclude=Cache -czf /cdrom/backup.tar.gz
echo "${BLUE}Done.${NORMAL}"
exit 0

IT WORKS! And shows NO ERRORS, but it needs some error testing code.
It makes the backup.tar.gz file, & on boot the background is restored.
The 2 lines starting with echo aren`t needed, & they don`t show if
the file`s run in emelfm, but they probably would in XTerminal.

Being as /cdrom is the destination, I think ANY WRITEABLE DRIVE
THAT DSL IS BOOTED FROM should work as the backup & restore drive.

Tried the CD on the other PC & it had a normal bootup.
Read your post in: USB version of DSL, I guess your saying
that DSL embedded has the proper layout & drivers for the
USB to boot off of?
I though it was only for running under Win.?
