Other Help Topics :: save configuration and files



I believe the usb disk is sda

(just use the mount option on the side panel and check if it is reading the right place...)
I would really like to backup to the usb stick that I am running DSL from.  I can mount the stick to /mnt/sda1 and I can access it via the shell with write permission.

I have tried to backup using the app from the dsl menu and it does not give me an error if I enter either sda1 or /mnt/sda1.  It does not actually appear to do anything though :(

Where would DSL save the backup if it actually did create it?
I've got the backup/restore working on my USB pen drive, except that it doesn't save my chosen desktop theme (always defaults to the original black one).

What should I add to filetool.lst, to make it save my desktop preferences?

Thanks,
Tim
tawalker:

If your keeping your themes in /home/dsl/.fluxbox/*
( like the .tar.gz themes in the repository do when they install )

Add these lines to your filetool.lst, then backup

home/dsl/.fluxbox/backgrounds
home/dsl/.fluxbox/themes
home/dsl/.fluxbox/init

Hi ke4nt,

I don't have the 'backgrounds' or 'themes' directories (files?), but 'init' is there. Just added the full path to filetool.lst, saved and rebooted, and it remembered my choice of theme.

Many thanks! :D
