Rockpi-toolkit

Welcome to rockpi-toolkit, the repository will collect tools that can be used on officially supported ubuntu and debian.

1. rockpi-backup.sh

This script allows you to back up your system using Rockpi4 or RockpiS. It is currently possible to back up each other between uSD and eMMC. I haven't tested it on NVMe, because I don't have it yet.

Install

linaro@rockpi:~ $ curl -sL https://rock.sh/rockpi-backup -o rockpi-backup.sh
linaro@rockpi:~ $ chmod +x rockpi-backup.sh

Usage

Run ./rockpi-backup.sh -h to print usage.

linaro@rockpi:~ $ sudo ./rockpi-backup.sh -h
Usage:
  sudo ./rockpi-backup.sh [-o path|-e pattern|-m model|-l label|-t target|-u]
    -o specify output position, default is $PWD
    -e exclude files matching pattern for rsync
    -m specify model, rockpi4, rockpis or rk356x, default is rockpi4
    -l specify a volume label for rootfs, default is rootfs
    -t specify target, backup or expand, default is backup
    -u unattended, no need to confirm in the backup process
linaro@rockpi:~ $

If you run it without any arguments, the script will work with the default values and will confirm you.

linaro@rockpi:~ $ sudo ./rockpi-backup.sh

You can specify output path with provide -o argument, if it is a directory, the output file will be directory+date.img, if it is a .img ending file, the output file will be the file.

linaro@rockpi:~ $ sudo ./rockpi-backup.sh -o /home/linaro/debian.img

Tips

1. If you want to use dd to restore your image, and your uSD or eMMC has GPT partitions and is mounted, please umount before dd.

2. If you are using ubuntu, want to backup and restore from uSD to eMMC, or from eMMC to uSD, you need to edit the boot line in /etc/fstab, mmcblk0 for uSD and mmcblk1 for eMMC.
