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

The backup directory created by raspiBackup contains all information required to restore this backup also manually with standard Linux tools. The following page describes how to restore a normal tgz backup.

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.
