From time to time there will be a new raspiBackup version be created which includes new features, enhancements and bug fixes. This version will go though an automated regession test which tests the main backup- and restorefunction. Next all new features, enhancements and bug fixes will be tested again manually even they were tested during development. Now the existing version will be published as beta. Everybody will get notified with a smiley :D in the eMail subject and a dedicated message wll inform about the beta availability. Now every raspibackup user can test the new beta version and to create a problem record if an issue is discovered. It's not possible to test all possible system environment configurations. Thus everybody who tests the beta will help to make sure there will no error been introduced in the new version.
Next page describes how to install the beta, how to uninstall the beta and revert to the previous version and how to create a problem record.

I just got a CM4 donated with 1GB main memory, 32GB eMMC and 128 GB NVMe. Thank you very much to the donator!
CM4 was already supported by raspiBackup but only running from a SD card, eMMC or USB boot. It's already possible to use NVMe when it's provided in an USB plug because it's exposed as a normal disk as /dev/sdx but there was no way to have NVMe plugged in in the PCI lane exposed as /dev/nvme. Now I fortunately was able to add this support to raspiBackup. This support is available now in release 0.6.8.

I recently had to restore a backup created by a rsync backup created by raspiBackup because my SD card died. The restore was successfull but NetworkManager didn't start :-(. With sudo journalctl -n 100 -u NetworkManager.service I detected the error message
/usr/sbin/NetworkManager: error while loading shared libraries: libhogweed.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
It took me a while to find the root cause of the issue. Finally it's not an issue with raspiBackup but with librtmp1 and the way it's packaged in RaspbianOS.

raspiBackup.sh is also used to store backups on Synology. I don't have a Synology and cannot execute any tests to help on any issues which pop up. That's why I created this page to allow users of a Synology to share their experiences with Synology and raspiBackup via comments.

raspiBackupInstallUI and raspiBackup right now writes messages in German and English only. But both are able to write messages in any language from a coding point of view (I18N). Unfortunately I'm a German native speaker and can speak English and a little bit French and thus I'm unable to add any other language (L10N) and need help on this. Anybody who is willing to help to add support for a new language other than German and English is welcome. Just add your interest in a comment on this page and I will guide and help you to add new messages in your native language to raspiBackupInstallUI and raspiBackup.
Right now following languages are supported:
EN - English
DE - German
FI - Finnish
ZH - Chinese
FR - French

Sometimes you don't want to restore a whole system but restore only some files or directories. That's not directly supported by raspiBackup. But given the fact raspiBackup was designed to restore a system from it's backups with plain Linux tools it's possible for all three backup types. But all activities have to be done on a Linux system because the tools used to retrieve the data are Linux tools. The most convenient way to retrieve backup data is offered by rsync. dd and tar require to execute some commands in the command line first.
