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
Run the following command on your Raspberry Pi:
curl -sSL https://goo.gl/btmpKd | bash
When prompted, reboot the Raspberry Pi.
Usage
- Boot the Raspberry Pi
- Plug in the backup storage device
- 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.
