e.g.
Code:

Please don't try to use this version in the "older" images 2.1, the used programs/versions are not compatible

Backupsuite 13.6

Changed in version 13.6
- Improved the detection of the used image for reporting in the log file and in the file imageversion in the back-up folder.
Not sure if it is perfect now because of lack of information on how the various images identifies itself in the file /etc/issue

Thx to Pedro_Newbie

Backupsuite 14.3

Changelog

Changed in version 14.3
- Now, besides the last update date, is also the date reported when the image was flashed, this is reported in the file imageversion in the backup folder and in the logfile BackupSuite.log. This date could be of use in case of troubles, sometimes it is needed to know when the image was flashed. An example of the content of my file:
Code:
Back-up date       = 2014.01.08_21:38
Image version      = openpli 4 
Installed/flashed  = 2013.09.28_07:36
Image last updated = 2014.01.04_15:34

- Also the logging in BackupSuite.log is reworked, now partly in the language of the image (other parts still in English sorry)
- Some revision of the programcode

Thx to Pedro_Newbie

Backupsuite 14.5

Changed in version 14.5
- Added for all the Xtrends models 2 warnings because the Xtrends seems to have problems to flash images back which are greater than about 128MB (no hard boundary detected yet):
  • if the image size is between 111 MB and 128 MB the warning (in yellow) is:
Code:
Bei der Wiederherstellung dieses Backup könnte es zu einem Problem kommen da dieses nahe an der zulässigen Grösse liegt. Dies ist eine Beschränkung des Bootloaders, nicht des Backups oder der BackupSuite.
  • if the image is greater than 128MB the warning (in red) is:
Dieses Backup kann höchstwahrscheinlich nicht wieder eingespielt werden, es ist schlicht zu gross um es wieder herzustellen. Dies ist eine Beschränkung des Bootloaders, nicht des Backups oder der BackupSuite.

- Changed the aligning of the numbers in the size to back-up, now it detects whether the numbers are above or below the 100.000 KB (just for cosmetics)
Big thanks to the translators of the last 2 messages
DE Biki3
FR Demosat
IT Matrix64
TR SSD

for the other languages (ES, PL, RU and SK) I'm looking for translators who can translate the messages:
Code:
#message28
msgid "Most likely this back-up can't be restored because of it's size, it's simply too big to restore. This is a limitation of the bootloader not of the back-up or the BackupSuite."

#message29
msgid "There COULD be a problem with restoring this back-up because the size of the back-up comes close to the maximum size. This is a limitation of the bootloader not of the back-up or the BackupSuite."

Thx to Pedro_Newbie

Backupsuite 14.6

Changed in version 14.6

  • Completed all languages, thanks to the translators: DE Biki3, FR Demosat, IT Matrix64, TR SSD, RU Odyssey, SK Dym1, PL Blzr, ES agmuser
  • Added a temporary routine to detect if a back-up is made on one of the new machines et8000 or et10000, if so the program aborts because it is still unknown (to me) if there are any changes in the use of the mtd's, so to avoid problems it is better to abort the program. When these machines hits the market the support will be added as soon as possible. Also it isn't clear yet if the maximum size of the back-up, ~128MB, to restore is also the case for these new machines.

Thx to Pedro_Newbie

Backupsuite 14.9

Changed in version 14.9
  • When the USB only version is started there will be checked if the intended USB stick has enough free space to build the back-up. If there is less space then 4 times the size of rootfs the program will display a warning and the program will be aborted. The program needs this space to write temporary files for different stages in the process
  • Corrected the Russian language pack
Thx to Pedro_Newbie

Backupsuite 16.0

Changed in version 16.0
Made the application more universal and easier to maintain for future models.
Now all supported brands/models are placed in a matrix (lookuptable.txt) with their parameters needed to make a back-up
Now all what has to be done to support a new brand/model is enter the specifics into the lookuptable.txt, an example is show hereunder.
I moved the version (after some internal betaversions) to 16.0 because of the big changes in the code.
All is tested and should work fine

Example matrix:
