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
