# LITTLE BACKUP BOX
## The project is now hosted on [GitHub](https://github.com/dmpop/little-backup-box/).
Bash shell scripts that transform a Raspberry Pi into an inexpensive, fully-automatic, pocketable photo backup and streaming device.

## Installation
On your Raspberry Pi, download the latest version of Little Backup Box:
cd ~
wget https://chiselapp.com/user/dmpop/repository/little-backup-box/tarball/little-backup-box.tar.gz
Unpack the downloaded tarball archive:
tar xzvf little-backup-box.tar.gz
Switch to the resulting directory and make the *install-little-backup-box.sh* script executable:
cd little-backup-box
chmod +x install-little-backup-box.sh
Run the installer script:
./install-little-backup-box.sh
Alternatively, use the following one-liner to perform all the above steps:
cd ~ && wget https://chiselapp.com/user/dmpop/repository/little-backup-box/tarball/little-backup-box.tar.gz && tar xzvf little-backup-box.tar.gz && cd little-backup-box && chmod +x install-little-backup-box.sh && ./install-little-backup-box.sh
## Usage
1. Boot the Raspberry Pi
2. Plug in the backup storage device
3. Plug in the card reader and wait till the Raspberry Pi shuts down
## IMPORTANT! The The Raspberry Pi Zero and UUGear USB hub combo does not work with external HDD or SSD. You need a proper powered USB hub for that.
## Linux Photography
Little Backup Box is a part of a streamlined and automated Linux-based photographic workflow described in the [Linux Photography](https://gumroad.com/l/linux-photography) book. The book provides step-by-step instructions on building a Raspberry Pi-based photo backup device running the Little Backup Box script.
