Everything was going so well

@sdetweil So install the base of MM on the new SD then follow the steps in your previous post?
I have a feeling it definitely won’t be that easy.
-
@JMac back is copy/paste from the github, add -s/media/{user}/mountname/MagicMirror
then install MagicMirror
copy/paste from the github linkthen restore, copy/paste from the github link. no parms required
-
@sdetweil right so when I copy those 2 file’s am I literally just dragging a copy to the new SD’s home screen (just so they’re on the new card) or do they need to go into a MM specific folder on the new card.
I can find both of those files on the old SD but I’m not understanding from
ls >~savedlist.txt.
am I doing that after I’ve installed a fresh MM on the new SD card once that MagicMirror/modules folder exists because running the above command won’t work as the new SD has no reference to MM’s existence.

@JMac copy ?
you go to the web page, and click copy for the command
then to terminal window or ssh window, paste command, hit enter (install and restore, add -s parm on backup)
you are executing the command directly from the web
-
@sdetweil so I’m not manually moving the config and CSS files myself that will be done after via terminal?
-
@JMac correct the backup/restore will do all that, and get the module list and restore them
-
@sdetweil new install of MM is one the new SD (failed the first time so had to run again and seemed to take a while).
when I run your backup script will it automatically find the previous MM install on the old SD card mounted with USB?
if not how do I get it to find the previous install to copy the files I need?

@sdetweil did you get back running?
