# Little Backup Box
Bash shell scripts that transform a Raspberry Pi (or any single-board computer running a Debian-based Linux distribution) into an inexpensive, fully-automatic, pocketable photo backup and streaming device.

## Installation
Install Git and screen:
sudo apt install git-core screen
Clone the Little Backup Box Git repository on your Raspberry Pi:
git clone https://gitlab.com/dmpop/little-backup-box.git
Switch to the *little-backup-box* directory and make the *install-little-backup-box.sh* script executable:
```
cd little-backup-box
chmod +x install-little-backup-box.sh
```
Run the installer script:
./install-little-backup-box.sh
## Usage
1. Boot the Raspberry Pi
2. Plug in the backup storage device
3. Plug in the card reader and wait till the Raspberry Pi shuts down
**Note:** To differentiate between different storage cards, the backup script assigns a random 8-digit identifying number to each card (this number is stored in the *CARD_ID* file in the root of the card). The contents of the card is saved on the storage device in a folder with the identifying number as its name.
