BACKUPMON BACKUPMON v1.8.20 -Oct 12, 2024- Backup/Restore your Router: JFFS + NVRAM + External USB Drive! CIFS/SMB/NFS! (Now available in AMTM!)

Correct... in order to restore through the script, you would want the target restoration device to have the same label name as what the source originally was. Ideally, you want to backup to an external network source... so when you ultimately replace your USB flashdrive with an SSD, you can easily rename it to the same thing, and then start your restore.

I think I'm doing something wrong.

My setup is a AX86U-pro. I have 2 USB sticks in it.
In the USB 2 port, I have a USB stick that is uses by the router
In the USB 3 port, I have a USB stick that is shared by samba-share and that I use for my backup.

But everytime the script is run (bm (manual) or on schedule) the USB stick in the USB 3 port is unmounted.
This happens if I mount him in USB 2 of USB3 mode.

What is my mistake??

When the target media type is "network", it will always unmount after the backup completes. Have you tried specifying it as the "usb" media type? When it's set to USB, then it won't unmount.

Thanks.. that did the trick

I did get a warning that I was backup to the same USB stick, but I'm certain that is not the case.

Yeah I'd doublecheck to make sure source and target are different, and that it's dropping backup files where they are supposed to be going. I may not have had the proper messaging anticipated for this particular USB scenario.

It would help to see how you configured it...

I don't use EXT USB drive.

We also need clarity around this line. Are you saying your not using one at all?

Or just that your not using one for the backup? Or your using something else instead like a SSD?

If your not using one at all, that's your problem. Backupmon requires a USB even if you don't backup to the USB.
