Couple of new changes added to this release based on feedback by
@visortgw and
@vibroverbus! Enjoy! Hope you can squeeze a few secondary backups in yet before you return to your failed primary backup target,
@visortgw!
Don't say I never tried to help you out! LOL
What's new?
v1.8.10 - (July 2, 2024)
- PATCH: Based on a good suggestion by
@visortgw, a
secondary-only backup option was added. This was prompted when possible issues could arise where you might be unable to back up to your primary backup target, upon which BACKUPMON would exit in an error state by default. Now, a "-secondary" switch has been added that simply runs a secondary backup (without any purges). Example usage: "
backupmon -secondary". As always, you can hit "backupmon -h" or "backupmon -help" for a full list of commands.
- PATCH: @vibroverbus made a good observation on some
inconsistencies in the y/n prompts within the script compared to other scripts such as AMTM. It seems the function I'm using would automatically accept the y or n keypress and keep running without needing to hit enter. This function has now been changed so you can you change your mind after typing y or n, and lets you correct yourself before needing to manually hit the enter key now.
Download link (or update directly within AMTM/BACKUPMON):
Code:
curl --retry 3 "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ViktorJp/BACKUPMON/master/backupmon.sh" -o "/jffs/scripts/backupmon.sh" && chmod 755 "/jffs/scripts/backupmon.sh"
Significant screenshots:
As shown below, the "-secondary" switch has been added that only performs a secondary backup

Running only the -secondary switch performs as expected below!
