      @mumblebaj I pushed a change to set the primary branch name a different way…

      give it a try

      backup to some other folder (and then u can delete that folder)

      ./mm_backup.sh -b somefolder
      

      just pushed a change to create the output folder if it doesn’t exist, instead of error…

              @sdetweil Right now, not. MM runs perfect as is. I’ll leave it for now. :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

                    @sdetweil hey thanks a lot. I appreciate that
                    I will definitely check it out
                    I kind of made my own. It’s very basic but seems to do the trick
                    it is menu-driven so I can choose which modules I want to backup or restore
                    I’m fairly new at writing scripts. They are a lot of fun

                          @sdetweil sorry it’s been so long since I replied to this form.
                          So I wanted to just let you know I did make my own backup and restore scripts.
                          The backup is pretty simple. It just makes a copy of my modules folder and stores it in a safe place.

                          The restore is a little bit different. It will restore the module folder to its original location and then use npm install in each folder.
                          It worked perfectly

                          I tested it Under virtual disk. I install magic. Mayor the traditional way and then use my restore program and it worked perfectly.

                          I wanted to thank you for all your help and your ideas

                            @ray no problem… the fact that you have backup and restore is the good thing…
