      Pi (Pi4 in metal heat-sink case) was running really warm. Powered it off and left it for a while.

      Powered on, it has no networking and file manager does nothing.
      If I can get networking enabled, I’ll make a config and CSS backup.

      Looks like it’s going to need an OS reinstall which will have to wait until I have time to do so.
      I’ll report back when that’s done.

        @Richard238 my backup also gets the module source url for every add on module, so that they can be reinstalled again
        and gets files created (like access tokens etc) which may be needed to make each module work

          I couldn’t use that as I the Pi had no network, no file manager. It was bricked :(

          New OS, new default vanilla MM all good.

          And then I remembered the orig MM was still on a SD Card before I swapped over to a USB drive.
          Copied all I needed, seems to be all good so far!

          Thanks for your help. :)

                Hahhahaaaa! Yes, well I do make regular backups of config and CSS, it was the modules folder I was missing. Lesson learned there.

                  It will record incremental changes
