chris64 Posted August 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 It works! But, I would like to backup my whole SD card (=Raspian) with BtSync. But, I can't chose "/"as path...Is it a problem of permissions or anything else?Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v6ak Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 I am not sure if it is wise to backup the root directory, because:a) BT sync AFAIK does not distinguish between a symlink and a regular file/directory, so there can be an infinite recursion. I am not sure if BT sync can handle /proc, /sys and /dev properly.c) Did you consider permissions?d) You hay have connected some other device (e.g. an external HDD or an USB stick), which would be added to the sync.e) Do you really need a backup of /bin, /boot and so on?

chris64 Posted August 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Actually, I was looking for a simple auto-backup solution. I would want to backup my Raspberry Pi to my Mac, because I don't have a screen to connect to...But I agree with you v6ak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to clone your SD card instead, then you will have a working copy as backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
