Code:
Error: Incorrect command line
p7zip-full_9.04~dfsg.1-1-m5-1_armel.deb
from here:
http://maemo.org/packages/view/p7zip-full/
So, to get around this, on my Mac I ran:
Code:
7z x backupmenu_0.53-1_all.deb
Code:
sudo gainroot tar -xf data.tar -C /
Any ideas?
(Many thanks for all of your help!)

This SEEMED to work. Now, in addition to BackupMenu being an option when I boot with the keyboard open, I can select it and it will boot into BackupMenu. However, the next issue is even though I get the full menu, it won't accept any key presses. Neither "b" for create a backup or "x" for exit and reboot. I had to depress the "hold switch" in order to reboot.
Any ideas?
Code:
root ln -s /bin/evkey /usr/sbin/evkey

Sorry - looks like I missed that out in my instructions. You need to create a symlink so evkey appears where backupmenu is expecting it:
Code:root ln -s /bin/evkey /usr/sbin/evkey
Pressed "b" for backup
Pressed "q" for RootFS only (or the other keys for either OptFS only or both...same result)
Pressed "s" for sdcard
This returns the following error:
Error: 1 Last /usr/share/backupmenu/BackupMenu.item: line 1117: gtar: not found
and then a few seconds later the screen changes and I get:
Error: returned 127
Press any key to continue...
and then, if I try to do it all over again WITHOUT rebooting, I get:
cannot mount the RootFS
When I reboot, I can try it all over again but get the same results.
I've since run:
Code:
apt-get install tar-gnu
Opening up BackupMenu.item with Leafpad and going to line 1117 reveals "Done". It says nothing about gtar, but then I'm not a programmer so maybe it refers to gtar somehow.
Ideas? (Thank you! I hope this helps others too.)

You'll have to copy 'tar' from /opt/maemo/usr/bin/gnu/tar to /usr/share/backupmenu/
e.g. cp /opt/maemo/usr/bin/gnu/tar /usr/share/backupmenu/
Installing the deb usually does it automatically.

Excellent!
Would you mind trying a restore of those backups? I want to make sure there are no conflicts.
If it all works out, I'll try to piece together an actual guide.

I've only just got my contact and calendar syncing all worked out, and with 2700 contacts, it wasn't easy.
Let me think about it. I can't do it at the moment as I'm heading out.
Any reassuring words?

Well, erm... First, check the size of the rootfs/optfs backups. These should be around 300and 600-2gb respectively.
Also, if it fails to restore, you can reflash and restore individual files , so your stuff -should- be easily recoverable.
On top of that, everything -should- work fine anyway. I -would- install ssh-server and test that it works though: It will give you a method to fix things if they -do- go wrong.

Hello RobbieThe1st,
I also upgraded my 0.32 version to 52.1 and also have this orphan file which I want to remove. The proper way as I understand it is to reinstall the 32 version and then remove the app with fapman or the standard application manager.
Then do a fresh install of backupmenu 52.1
Since the .32 is not in the repository, at least I cannot find it.
From where can I download and install the old 0.32?
