XU4 v148 backup/restore problem

Hi all,

I tried the info in a post on this page to install kernel 4.9:

https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=146&t=26007&start=150

It didn’t work, system wouldn’t boot.

Reflashed eMMC, updated new install and then restored from a backup on cloudshell HD.

I got a failed restore message - rebooted and most things worked but:

MySQL wouldn’t run - reason was I had moved my data to /home/john - the restored version didn’t know this - once I manually did this MySQL started OK.

Next thing was all the files in /var/www/html hadn’t restored - no problem, copied them manually, all working fine now.

Could there be a bug in the backup/restore script?

Hi John,

Not that i’ve seen in the last 6+ months of using it. I use dietpi-backup almost daily during testing.

Also, was this a System only or Full backup?

Next thing was all the files in /var/www/html hadn’t restored - no problem, copied them manually, all working fine now.

/var/www is part of the System only backup. Its possible those files didnt exist in the original backup? You can check with:
Change backup location as needed

ls -lha /mnt/dietpi-backup/dietpi-backup_system/var/www

Hi Fourdee,

It was system only backup as I found this did my /home/john directory.

The /var/www/html files were definitely in the backup as I restored them manually.

Nothing lost really but the MySQL problem took a bit of time to work out.
