              @sdetweil WOW!

              nearly all is working!

              Some local modifications are not catched (e.g. datafile for birthdaylist (to illustrate what I mean - you are somewhat familiar with birthdaylist :-) ) ).

              For unknown reasons “MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda” is not showing up - I may have to apply the fix I had seen somehow (have NOT to use this fix on my Pi4 with same mirror version (2.30.0))
              Calendar fetches are present (checked log) so it seems an error in C3A …

              By checking log I found a never seen error:

              is this related to auto-update?

              And another question: On my other Mirror a restart happens when I write config.js back to raspi - this doesn’t happen on new system - can I enable this with a parameter somehow I have missed?

              Thanks a LOT for your great script and your effort behind!

                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…

                        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…
