Restore script cannot create Backup folder?

[rkorell]

@sdetweil
sorry, still another question…
Your backup-script has stored the famous MMM-Pir (bugsounet’s) on my git-repository.
The restore script does not restore this directory (I guess because the origin git repo doesn’t exist anymore - which makes sense).
But I would at least try to get this up and running again…

Can I restore this directory manually?
And if possible is this done with a fully qualified path or somehow different?
(meaning “https://github.com/rkorell/MagicMirror/tree/main/MMM-Pir”)

so would my command be:

git clone https://github.com/rkorell/MagicMirror/tree/main/MMM-Pir 

or

git clone https://github.com/rkorell/MagicMirror/MMM-Pir

Or do I have to transfer my tar file to the new raspi and unpack it there?

Thanks for guidance!

Ralf

you could edit the MM_backup/module_list file and change the url
and then restore from the local MM_backup to test

if good then do another backup to make a new tag of the updated state (with the corrected url)

@sdetweil Thanks.
IN the meantime I’ve figured out that the MM-Pir directorry in github repo (backup) only contains four files, so is useless for restoring…

thanks so much for the trouble report… fixed
next execution will handle it correctly and that revision of the backup will be more accurate. I noticed that I also did not preserve the file attributes (date/time, owner, permissions) , and that is corrected too…
