i have copied MagicMirror on my pc after load the new version… if i have a pb with my sd card, i clone with an old image containing an old MagicMirror. If i change the old by the new, the version will be ok ?

syntax

scp options user@ip:path_to_file(s) path_to_save_files_here

for example

scp -r user@ip:~/MagicMirror ~/save_folder/MagicMirror

Or possibly just the config and modules folders. That way you’re not saving all the standard Raspbian files.

If you ever need to restore from backup, you can just re-flash Raspbian onto the SD card, run your OS updates, run the Magic Mirror installer and then unpack your config and modules folders. Run the npm install in the particular folders and you should be good to go.
