Little Backup Box supports three backup modes:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Card backup** Automatically backs up the contents of a storage card to an external storage device.
|
||||
- **Camera backup** Transfers photos, raw files, and videos from the camera connected directly to the Raspberry Pi. The transferred files are saved in the */home/pi/[CAMERA MODEL]* directory on the system storage card. **Important** Make sure that the camera is set to the **MTP** USB connection mode.
|
||||
- **Web UI** Simple web interface that allows you to manually choose one of the two modes described above.
|
||||
|
||||
During the installation, choose the desired mode from the selection dialog.

When prompted, reboot the Raspberry Pi.
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Little Backup Box is configured to back up storage cards. To make the script transfer files directly from the connected camera, run the `crontab -e` command on Raspberry Pi. Comment the following line by prepending *#* to it:
|
||||
|
||||
@reboot sudo /home/pi/little-backup-box/backup.sh
|
||||
|
||||
Uncomment then the line below by removing *#*:
|
||||
|
||||
#@reboot sudo /home/pi/little-backup-box/gphoto-backup.sh
|
||||
|
||||
Save the changes.
|
||||
|
||||
Keep in mind that in this case, the transferred files are saved in the */home/pi/[CAMERA MODEL]* directory on the system storage card. Make sure that the card you use with Raspberry Pi has adequate storage capacity.
|
||||
|
||||
**Important** Make sure that the camera is set to the MTP USB connection mode.
