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

First of all, make sure that your Raspberry Pi is connected to the internet.

Run the following command on the Raspberry Pi:

curl -sSL https://goo.gl/btmpKd | bash

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 > /home/pi/little-backup-box.log

Uncomment then the line below by removing #:

#@reboot sudo /home/pi/little-backup-box/gphoto-backup.sh > /home/pi/gphoto-backup.log

Save the changes.

Usage

Boot the Raspberry Pi
Plug in the backup storage device (or camera, if you configured Little Backup Box as described above)
Plug in the card reader and wait till the Raspberry Pi shuts down

Note: To differentiate between different storage cards, the backup script creates a datetime-based .id file in the root of each storage card. The name of the .id file is also used as the destination backup folder on the storage device.
