How Backup all settings and projects on Raspberry Pi3?

Tell me how to backup the printer settings and uploaded projects before updating on Raspberry Pi3?

  • All files and data is located in the /var/lib/Repetier-Server folder. So if you have enough free disk space you could simply create a tar file from this
    cd /var/lib
    sudo tar -xzf targetfile.tgz Repetier-Server
    On the new pi unpack it before installing. Normal update will not delete these only if you install a new image. But none the less it is a good idea to have a backup in case disk fails os something goes wrong and files get destroyed.

    So I was surprised not to find in the settings of the RS buttons "Backup Settings"|"Restore Settings" and "Backup Data"|"Restore Data"... ;-)
  • To be 100% save you should shutdown server.

    We plan a backup function in a later stage where you also can select what to backup, but that is future.
    A button does not work as you need a target that is writable and has enough space. So you need to enter that but with view from server side.
