As the topic suggest, would it be possible to restore a backup on a rpi 5, when the backup has been created on a rpi 4 (using the dietpi-backup program).
Im currently running dietpi 9.6.1 on a rpi4 (booting from a sd-card). I would like to backup everything and then restore it on my new rpi5, that currently also is running dietpi 9.6.1, but booting from a nvme ssd instead of a sd-card.
I’ve seen a migrate-script on github but unsure if that applies for my situation.
Thanks!
On RPi 4 you would need to upgrade to the new RPi kernel aso. There you can use the migration script. Keep in mind, this is a one way trip. It will not be possible to restore backups done before.
If all is working well on RPi4, you can move your SD card to RPi5 to see if it boots up.
I guess it should be possible to clone SD card in RPi5 to nvme afterwards.
Thanks for the response!
What kernel version is it that I need to update to? Are there any automated scripts for this available in Dietpi?
I guess you already found the migration script?
