|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
Run the following command on your Raspberry Pi:
|
|
|
|
curl -sSL https://goo.gl/btmpKd | bash
|
|
|
|
When prompted, reboot the Raspberry Pi.
|
|
|
|
## 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.
