snap2 compression
[Version 4.3+ is now (as-of April 16, 2010) classed STABLE/TESTED. Snap2 is wonderful. My other favorite backup program is storeBackup. Dependancies make it rather impractical for use in Puppy, but storeBackup does offer the option of by-file compression. I realize the implications of this but do y...

Odd Snap2 backup directory structure
Lloyd, I'm very new to Snap2 and find it fits my needs splendidly. Thanks for the time, effort and talent! Snap2 created it's first daily backup this morning. The results were as advertised save for one surprise - my recent.4 backup had been copied down into the daily.1 folder, as shown: # tree -L 1...

Actually, I can suggest one other change. By installing FAH to a folder off /mnt/home, the user's pup_save file doesn't have to carry the weight of FAH work files. That's generally the way I install the client. FAH work files don't grow terribly large but the distinction may appeal to those wishing ...

Re: Hot Backup for Frugal Pups
What can I say 2byte, but simple, small, clean, wonderful. Puppy has needed just such a utility for a very long time. Really very well done.2byte wrote:A tiny gtkdialog utility for backing up the live pupsave file..

Thank you very much!

Included apps and size
...The proposed solution (splitting out as many apps as reasonably possible into separate autoloading sfs) seems perfect to me. I really love the idea of a base pup_xxx.sfs that's ~50mb....Tom I think we have to be careful with this one. Puppy needs to appear to newbies (and reviewers) as "ful...
