# 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.
